"We just bought a small second home in Billerica and furnished it from scratch.  This resulted in way more cardboard and other trash than we were warm and fuzzy about breaking down, cutting to the required size and tied bundle height specified for curbside pickup; we also had miscellaneous paint and other items added to the pile.  I found Steve on Angie's List and called him.  He was prompt and courteous in all communications, arrived on the day promised to give us an estimate and stuck to his word when he performed the work on the promised date.  This is important because we did advise that we still had several more boxes and items to add to what he was viewing for the estimate -- we were able to give him an approximate report of what else would be added and we didn't exceed what we told him, likewise he didn't add to his original estimate.  He is very careful in his work, is neat and quick and friendly.  We are VERY pleased and will use him again.  We will also recommend him to anyone who can use his multi-faceted services."

"My main goal in using this service was to get an idea of just what value my house had. I have lied in the house (built in 1890) for thirty years. I have personally done some renovation but I mostly have had professional electricians and plumbers do their work.
My city in Massachusetts revalues real-estate annually. (How else can the teachers and other over-pensioned public employees get their benefits? :-)  It has had a rash of tear-downs and subsequent erections of many McMansions. Currently, an over-supply of $1 million to $5 million houses exists. In fact the over-supply is a few times MORE than the other price ranges combined.
I live about two blocks away from a fairly pricey neighborhood, but my house is next to a very busy intersection. A neighborhood school and public transit are nearby. So, I wanted to get an idea if continued maintenance or improvement was better financially than doing the only the barest of work; i.e., a positive NPV (net present value).
The owner and his assistant called me separately about a week after we met. I did not detect any hard-sell. When I get my tax bill for the year 2015 I will know if the company helped me to determine a current value that matched the city's assessment. As for answering the question of a positive NPV for any improvements, I do not expect a clear answer as markets can change somewhat quickly.
     1) They offered a thirty-day guarantee on pricing ... I don't feel comfortable taking fewer than thirty days when I have considered projects to improve my house; in fact, I have taken longer than for previous work I have done.
     2) when I hear "proprietary software", bells ring as in the stock market's "proprietary algorithms" for High Frequency Trading
(basically the transfer of profit to the insiders (the pay-to-play game).
     3) I have seen the one-stop fits-all model before. A local wood floor installer has a company name that implies it is local to Boston. In fact, it sub-contracts to those available in the METRO Boston area (the two installers came from southern NH, about 35 miles away).
     4) One price estimate to power-wash my rear deck was $3,200. I have power-washed my deck several times. I own a power-washer. They priced a new rug for the front stairs that also seemed a little high.

FAQs for appraisal real estate service projects in Manchester, NH

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.
