Upward Appraisal - Timothy D. Lillis, Real Estate Specialist

We offer expert home measurement services which follow ANSI standards 💡

✔️Gross Living Area (GLA) measurements are necessary when there are discrepancies with public records. We often see differences of 100-300+ square feet due to additions that were not documented.

✔️A Professional Floor Plan with interior dimensions and room labels is a HUGE asset to real estate listings. Buyers are more likely to view a home if they know the floor plan.

✔️Our floor plans include interior dimensions, walls, doorways, and fixed furniture for all of your staging needs.

Inquire today about our professional home measurement services and find out about how to get a same-day measurement report!

Upward Appraisal has been selected for the 2019 Best of Encino Awards in the category of Real Estate Appraisal!

This plaque is awarded to "local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community."

I want to thank my team for their amazing hard work and dedication! We are proud to be a part of this great community.

Overall, a pretty good article. Myth #5 and #6 are definitely of note. My clients ask me all the time, "if I add 'such-and-such' amenity to my house, how much will it bring the value up?"

This is really a two part question. First of all, for most people, a house is more than just an investment. It's your home. It's a place where you create memories, celebrate life's triumphs, and spend time with those closest to you. Before you start adding things just to increase the value, first think about what you actually want in the home. Are you planning on being there for the next 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? If the answer is 10 or 20, then maybe don't worry too much about the investment side of it now and do whatever it is that's going to make you LOVE coming home every day.

On the investment side, there are definitely things that you can do to up the value of your home. But before you jump into the project, it might be a good idea to call your local appraiser or a trusted Realtor to give you some tips on what would add the most value in your neighborhood.

6 Home Appraisal Myths You Need to Stop Believing Immediately You might be confused about just what, exactly, helps add value to your home in the appraiser's eyes. We're here to clear it up for you.

I came across this article this morning: the world's narrowest house! I get claustrophobic just looking at the pictures!

Keret House The world’s narrowest house makes for an awkward, four-foot-wide living space.

It was a pleasure meeting with Pamela T**a Upchurch and her team of Realtors this week! I had a blast speaking with the agents about the appraisal industry.

Had a great turnout at a speaking engagement at Remax Grand Tarzana this past week! It was a pleasure to speak to the agents about all things appraisal related, including how an appraiser "appraises", how to challenge a poor appraisal, and the huge impact of pre-listing appraisals. I was humbled to meet so many great people! Thanks to Stuart Schonwetter for the invite!

Whether you are refinancing an FHA loan or selling your home to an FHA purchaser, an FHA certified appraiser is going to show up on your doorstep to take a look around during the appraisal process. Complete this simple checklist to make sure there are no hiccups in the process!
