• Multi-Family Homes
• Condominiums
• Townhomes 
• Modular Homes and Manufactured Homes

Your Home Appraisal

The value of your home will be appraised on a wide variety of factors that can be broken down into three basic categories, including:

• External Characteristics – The external characteristics of your home include things like the type of neighborhood that it’s in, its zoning classification, your lot size, the surface of your driveway, the presence of a garage, and much more. There are also legal considerations to factor in, such as the census tract and your neighborhood boundaries.
• Internal Characteristics – Major factors of your home include how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have and its square footage, but there’s more to it than that. This refers to what your floors, windows, and walls are made of, what kind of foundation your home has, whether your basement is full or partial, and whether your baths and/or kitchen have been updated or remodeled. 
• General Condition – The general condition of your home can also significantly affect its value. This refers to the state of your foundation, exterior walls, screens, roofs, downspouts and gutters, the condition of your floors, walls, and trim, any adverse aspects of your home’s structural integrity or livability, and the amount and quality of general maintenance your home has received over the years.

Appraising your home amounts to a complicated process in which a wide range of variables play a role. Once all of these factors are analyzed and evaluated by an experienced home appraiser, you’ll have an accurate big-picture view of your home’s value.
