"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."

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.
