Condition, of course, is a crucial factor in valuation. Location is also a factor; but as property cannot change location, it is often the upgrades or improvements to a residential property that can enhance its value. A professional appraiser should be a qualified, disinterested specialist in real estate appraisals with expertise in your region. Their job is to determine an estimated value by examining the property, looking at the initial purchase price, and comparing it with recent sales of equivalent properties. The fee for this service is usually between $300 and $500.
