"Throughout difficult processes with both the house sell and the house purchase Aaron was totally engaged. He stays on top of every aspect of the process, is easy to contact, knowledgeable about real estate transactions, laws and construction (if he doesn't know an answer, he will get one) and on top of all that, he is very personable and has a calming influence if you are stressed. I would HIGHLY recommend he and his team. (And we were return "customers." He sold a previous house for us and helped us purchase another.)"

"My husband I and used Mike M, Peter D, and the Guaranteed Rate team previously with our home purchase and refinance in Orange County, CA. They were great then and actually approached us with a way to refinance and save hundreds per month by doing so. We wouldn’t have known about the refinance opportunity otherwise. We knew we found a great team for all our mortgage needs from that point on. Mike, Peter, and his Guaranteed Rate were the natural choice when my husband and I decided to make a huge move from California to Florida. When we found the home we wanted to purchase, we called Guaranteed Rate. The local real estate agent strongly resisted us going with Guaranteed Rate and insisted we use a local lender she was familiar with. We told her no thanks; we have our team for life. By the end of the deal, the same real estate agent raved about how amazing Guaranteed Rate is and how wonderful they were to work with. This is especially true because 2 days before closing, Hurricane Michael hit closeby our new house. While we thankfully were not impacted, all mortgages had to be closely inspected in nearby counties. Guaranteed Rate made frequent calls to everyone involved in our real estate deal and quickly got us back on track to close in record time. Folks working with other lenders didn’t get so lucky and some are still being delayed. Thanks again to Mike, Peter, and the entire Guaranteed Rate team for making our home ownership dreams come true again!!"

"Matt made the buying/selling experience as seamless as possible.  We received great advice and counseling and always felt like he, as our real estate agent, was looking out for our best interests.  We have worked with Matt before and would not hesitate to use him again.  He is always professional, courteous, respectful of our time, and extremely knowledgeable with the current housing market and trends.  We were in receipt of constant updates as the processes progressed.  We received timely responses, even when there was no news to report.  Matt went above and beyond his real estate duties.  He assisted contractors (to avoid a closing delay and a need to reschedule) by clearing snow in the front yard so utility/water lines could be found.  We never felt like we were unable to reach Matt, and if we had to leave a message, the call was promptly returned.  Matt had the "pleasure" of assisting us with 1) purchasing a bank-owned property and 2) purchasing a for sale by owner property.  Most agents would have passed, but Matt took on the tasks and we received the same level of professionalism and expertise as someone buying/selling a much more expensive property.  We do not expect to be moving again anytime soon, but when we do, we will definitely seek out Matt's services.  In the meantime, we continue to hand out Matt's name to family and friends."

"We were ecststic and nervous when our home sold above list price, within 5 days on the market. In addition to that, the time and attention they gave us leading up to our first day on the market was above and beyond. They strategized with us on how to stage our home so it would show the best. Also, the marketing, both in print and on social media, was above and beyond as well. They immediately turned the focus on finding the best home, with the best deal, for our family. To this day, we are raising our two boys in our dream home, in the school district we wanted. When we do sell, the Matthews Team will be our only choice for a real estate agent. We recommend them to everyone we care about as we know what a major life decision home buying can be."

FAQs for appraisal real estate service projects in Kansas City, KS

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.
