I specialize in bank mortgages but enjoy working directly with the homeowner when special circumstances require a non-bank lending appraisal such as divorce, tax appeals, immigration cases, litigation, or the loss of a loved one. I take great pride in the experience, expertise, quality, and customer service. My mission is to provide complete customer satisfaction from the start to the completion of your appraisal. As a realtor, I stay focused on the values of neighborhoods in our communities and enjoy advising my clients and maximizing their financial outcomes via their sales or purchases. We do not offer property line surveys, land-only appraisals, or commercial and personal appraisals. The typical fee starts from $325.
"Givi was knowledgeable about the need and the process. The work was competed in the time that he said it would take."

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.
