I am a seasoned professional that assists all clients with obtaining a mortgage for whether it be to buy or refinance a home. If there is a delay due to credit or personal issues we can discuss those and set a plan for the future. "Being a mortgage broker gives me the opportunity to help people through a challenging financial process, making it as understandable and anxiety-free as possible. I enjoy educating my clients and helping them feel confident in the financial decisions they are making for their families and their futures. Getting a family into their dream home or opening up a financial opportunity for them, is very rewarding"

"Me Goldfarb was professional, returned my calls in a timely manner, and answered all of my questions, I would hire him again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.
