Although it took over nine months to find the perfect home, my husband and I never felt rushed or pressured. Simply stated, Dave is the best! I recommend this company to anyone searching for a home in this area."

"Marie was fantastic to work with, and the process could not have gone more smoothly! We purchased a home and were dealing with an especially aggressive listing agent. Marie navigated things exceptionally well, starting with the offer phase all the way through to the closing. She also conducted a market analysis on the property, which helped us determine market value for the home and identify a strategy that would help us get the home for the best price. Marie is known for her real estate and business acumen and her interest in building strong relationships with her clients. She also has a strong network of professionals (inspectors, real estate attorneys, contractors, etc.), which we found very useful. Most importantly, we felt we could really trust Marie. Working with someone who has so much experience and who you can trust gave us tremendous piece of mind. We highly recommend Marie Presti!!!"

"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!!"

"My wife and I had been looking to buy a home for a few years, we had worked with other real estate agents without much luck (in this crazy and competitive market) until we were finally lucky enough to meet Katya. We were referred to Katya by a friend who had purchased a home with her earlier that year. From what we heard, as well as our impression from meeting her, we knew we could trust her. She is patient, kind, caring, and knows this crazy market like the back of her hand. Her professional assessment of the condition of the property and its current market value is spot on! Rest assured her advice is rock solid, and she can deliver on finding you your home. We are extremely grateful to her for helping us find our first home!"

"As mentioned above, Scott is good at removing emotions from his business. In matters of real estate, this seems rare and was an absolutely welcome trait for my wife and I. We have no patience for the nonsense that seems inherent when buying/selling/renting a home, so Scott was a very good match for us. We would work with him again, and would encourage anyone looking for a grounded and fact-based approach to real estate to give him a call."

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.
