A certified appraisal from a neutral third party professional is the very best way to price your home before putting it on the market and there's no appraiser I would trust more to serve our customers with this responsibility than Jeff Shannon and Shannon Appraisal Services. When our appraisal came back much higher than we expected, I questioned whether it could be right.

Divorce is a painful process in which there are many decisions to be made including 'who's staying' and 'who's going' when determining what happens to the house. Often times the home is put up for sale in which the profits are split or otherwise one of the parties typically buys out the other. In either case, one or both parties should hire the services of a professional real estate appraiser to estimate the fair market value of the home.

PMI, the acronym for private mortgage insurance, allows individuals to purchase their home with less than a 20% down payment. If you are paying PMI, the question you need to ask yourself is; "Is it time to stop paying monthly PMI into an escrow account and instead start putting that money into your pocket?"

We leveraged Shannon Appraisal Services for our refinance due to favorable interest rates. If you need an appraisal to come back with a below market valuation, you would be happy with their services.
This will be the third appraisal we have had completed on our property. Jeff leverages a unique bracketing approach (not observed in prior two appraisals and substantially different from his peer group), that valued our below grade finishes at $10 a square foot. The industry average valuation in the area is $20-$30 per square foot.
This valuation came into play when Jeff leveraged a recent comparable

Because of favorable interest rates, I have refinance my house twice in the last two years. Shannon Appraisal Services appraised my house both times. The first time in 2019 and now again in 2021. The 2019 appraisal was $15,000 higher than the 2020 appraisal even though I put on a new roof in 2020. Based on the Cedar Rapids Real Estate Market Overview the 1-Year Appreciation Rate is 2.1% so you would think that the home would appraisal for more than the 2019 appraisal not $15,000 less. I challenged the appraisal through the mortgage lender, and I did not receive any formal response to my challenge

Appraiser?, arrived at our Home, did not come to the House Door, walked around our property and entered, an outlying building, that is heated, air conditioned, and alarmed. Then came to the house door, did not introduce himself or present a business card. Started rapidly taking pictures. I kindly stated that I would like to take him to our three Outlying buildings, he said that was not necessary, he had already been to the building.. I mentioned that he should of waited for me. The appraiser, said he had, had enough and stormed out of our house.
I hope he was an appraiser and not a thief.
