"We contacted her because she had good reputation on Angie's list in our area. She made a list of homes for us based on our preferences and price range, and drove us to different subdivisions since we were new to this area. That helped us get a better idea of what we wanted and we quickly narrowed down the houses on the list. We got a good deal and everything went smoothly. She was also with us and helped us during the move-in inspection.

"Norman was awesome, he came out for an appraisal on my home for a refinance. He came in, he was quick, thorough, I hardly even knew he was there, except for the fact my dogs would not shut up barking. He was very patient and understanding. He was very knowledgeable in answering any question I had. I would highly recommend this company."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
