Know your number before you commit

A lender appraisal can run $600 or more — and you won't see the number until after you've already paid for it. With rates up and margins tighter, a surprise at the end can kill the deal. We're a certified residential appraisal firm with 35 years of experience in Baltimore and surrounding counties, and our reports are built on an appraiser's judgment — not an algorithm.

Start with a ValuLens Snapshot for $49 — a licensed appraiser hand-picks the comps and explains exactly why they were chosen. No certified value, no agent spin. Just the appraiser's take so you can decide if the desktop or full report makes sense.

Need a certified, written opinion of value? Then a Full Desktop Appraisal for $139 offers the same comp selection plus market condition analysis, adjustments, and gives you a report your attorney, or records require. No in-person visit needed.

Above-Grade GLAGross living area above ground — the primary size measure appraisers use to find comparable sales.
Below-Grade Living AreaFinished basement square footage counted separately from above-grade GLA.
ConditionOverall physical condition of the home rated on a standardized scale (C1–C6).
QualityConstruction quality and materials rated on a standardized scale (Q1–Q6).
Bedroom CountTotal number of bedrooms — impacts buyer pool and market demand.
Bathroom CountFull and half baths counted separately; affects value and marketability.
Finished Basement RoomsNumber of finished rooms below grade, including rec rooms, offices, and bonus spaces.
Exterior FeaturesDecks, patios, porches, pools, and other outdoor improvements that contribute to value.
Garage / ParkingAttached vs. detached, number of cars accommodated — a significant value driver in most Baltimore-area markets.
Year Built / Effective AgeChronological age combined with how well the home has been maintained; effective age can differ significantly from actual age.
Lot SizeTotal land area — especially relevant for detached homes and neighborhoods where land value is a meaningful component.
Location / Proximity AdjustmentsBusy road, cul-de-sac, backing to commercial, water view, or other site-specific influences that affect marketability and value.
Architectural StyleApples-to-apples style matching — colonials to colonials, ranchers to ranchers, rowhomes to rowhomes. Mixing styles introduces subjective adjustments that weaken comparability; same-style comps produce the most defensible analysis. When a perfect style match is unavailable, we look at the other key elements listed above to build the strongest comparison possible.
