I have worked with Chad Akers at Anthony appraisers for 20+ years, and he has provided in excess of 400 reports over that time for clients of mine. I am a local mortgage lender and Chad has been one of our appraiser panelists forever. He has proven to be responsive, accurate, personable, and quick.
I often receive requests from clients or real estate agents for the name of an appraiser who can provide a private appraisal for various reasons - divorce, estate, potential sale pricing, or other purposes, and I never hesitate providing Chad's name when asked for a suggestion.
I often receive feedback from the referral about how positive the experience was. With his extensive local knowledge and experience, if you need help with an appraisal for any reason you cannot go wrong if you contact Chad.

I had a positive experience working with this appraisal company. The staff was kind, accommodating, and always easy to reach whenever I had a question. The turnaround time was impressively quick, from scheduling the appraisal to receiving the final report. Chad was professional, warm, and efficient throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and responsive appraisal service.

What Is the Difference Between an Appraisal and a Home Inspection?
The appraiser is not a home inspector and does not do a complete home inspection. A third-party home inspector will evaluate the structure of the property, from the roof to the bottom. The general property inspector’s report will include an evaluation of the integrity of the home’s heating systems, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), and interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; and the foundation, basement, and visible structure.
Why Do I Need a Professional Appraisal?
Any time the value of your home or other real property is being used to make a significant financial decision, an appraisal helps. If you’re selling your home, an appraisal helps you set the most appropriate value. If you’re buying, it makes sure you don’t overpay. If you’re engaged in an estate settlement or divorce, it ensures that property is divided fairly. A home is often the single-largest financial asset anybody owns. Knowing its true value means you can make the right financial decisions.
What Is “Market Value”?
Market value or fair market value is the most probable price that a property should bring (will sell for) in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2) both parties are well-informed or well-advised; 3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure to the open market; 4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 5) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
