For the past three decades, Kevin McClellan has been a significant fixture in the business of appraising American, English, and continental furniture, fine and decorative arts of the 18th & 19th century, as well as general residential contents, here in southern Fairfield county and beyond. While attending Suny purchase in the late seventies, he was recruited by Fairfield county estate liquidators. At the time the largest full service company of its kind in Connecticut. After six years with F.C.E.L. Serving as everything from laborer, runner, auctioneer and finally assistant appraiser and gallery manager, he moved on to open Kevin B. McClellan appraiser and auctioneer in 1983. He established himself as a reliable source of verifiable valuation services for bank trust departments, estate & divorce attorneys, local historical societies and individuals. Designated by the American society of appraisers as a senior appraiser of personal property in 1988, he has also testified as an expert witness in court cases and completed assignments for the federal deposit insurance corporation. His work has been accepted by major insurance companies, the probate courts here in Connecticut, and the internal revenue service. He has worked on some of the oldest family estates here in Fairfield County, many dating back to the early 1700. Several years back, he taught a class in antique identification at the adult education dept. of Fairfield University. After a temporary self-imposed retirement that lasted more than a decade, he re-entered the appraisal field thru assignments at various group shops and galleries that sprung up in Stamford Connecticut. Most notably, his associations with hidden galleries, genesis antiques, and Greenwich living design center, three major forces in the antique and design field. He is currently re-certifying with the ASA.

We do real estate for real people - most of our clients are first time buyers (studios to townhomes) or first time sellers either leaving NYC or looking to upsize after their first purchase years earlier. A smaller but important part of our business is working with landlords/investors on multi-family sales and apartment leasing. While the majority of our sales are in Brownstone Brooklyn, we also have clients in Manhattan. \n\nWe offer our clients straightforward and data backed advice in a low-pressure setting. We believe our job is to be real estate consultants despite the salesperson title. We moved the team to Compass to leverage their best in class real estate platform that offers exceptional digital marketing and reach. \n\nGrant Braswell has been in business 10 years and the team surpassed $100M in sales in 2018. We keep our team nimble and operate out of offices in Park Slope, Cobble Hill and Compass headquarters in Union Square. \n\n\n

FAQs for appraisal real estate service projects in Cortlandt Manor, NY

The appraisal timeline begins with scheduling, which may take three to five days, depending on local appraiser availability. The on-site evaluation requires one to three hours based on property size and complexity. Following the inspection, appraisers need two to five days for research, analysis, and report preparation. The entire process takes seven to 10 days, though complex properties or government-backed loans may extend this timeframe.

The value of home appraisals extends beyond their immediate expense. They protect buyers from overpaying and help lenders ensure appropriate loan amounts. By providing independent market value verification, home appraisals help prevent potential financial missteps in major property transactions. This protection justifies the upfront cost for most real estate scenarios.

Home appraisers evaluate numerous property elements, including square footage, floor plan functionality, overall condition, and specific features. They document improvements, necessary repairs, and distinctive amenities. These observations are compared against similar properties recently sold in the neighborhood. Appraisers also consider location factors, current market conditions, and relevant zoning or property restrictions.

Yes, home appraisal fees are collected before the final closing. Since lenders require completed home appraisal reports before finalizing loan approvals, this cost occurs earlier in the transaction process. While buyers usually cover this expense, payment methods vary—some pay directly to the appraiser while others include it in closing costs.

Some property owners successfully use recent appraisals when challenging tax assessments. However, tax-assessed values often differ from market valuations. The appeal process involves submitting your appraisal as evidence that the tax authority's valuation exceeds actual market value. Success rates vary by jurisdiction, and the process may require patience and persistence.

From the buyer's perspective, appraisals verify they aren't overpaying for a property. Lenders won't approve financing that exceeds appraised value, potentially requiring buyers to renegotiate or contribute additional cash. Appraisal findings can also inform future improvement planning and investment decisions.

For sellers, preparation makes a difference. Clean, well-maintained properties present better during appraisal evaluations. Some sellers obtain pre-listing appraisals to establish appropriate asking prices, though most rely on the buyer's lender-ordered appraisal during the transaction process.
