"Jeff Kabatznick was a real pleasure to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable about the appraisal process, and is very enthusiastic about his work. He is extremely thorough and meticulous, and strives to do the the best work possible. By the end of the project, he knew more about my house, neighborhood, and market conditions than almost anyone else I could imagine. He is easily available to answer any questions or address any concerns, and is extremely conscientious about his work. Furthermore, he is just a really nice and friendly guy. I would recommend him strongly for any appraisal work."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

You'll notice that many projects that add value to your home involve increasing curb appeal. Adding an aluminum fence improves the style of your yard and the safety levels for pools, pets, and backyard playtime. You can also choose aluminum fence designs with unique ornamental features or paint the fence to match your home's style.

A good return on flipping a house ranges from 10% to 20% of the after-repair value. Many investors aim for a profit margin of at least 15% to ensure their efforts and risks are worthwhile. This percentage accounts for costs like repairs, financing, holding costs, and closing fees, while also providing a solid profit.

Yes, a well-built fence can increase your home value as it improves your property’s curb appeal and also provides enhanced security. Online studies show that fences have a 50% recovery rate, meaning investing $10,000 in a new fence can potentially increase your property value by $5,000 in the end. The number may fluctuate depending on the quality, material, and design of your fence.

If the appraised value comes in lower than an offer, a buyer will normally be able to back out because a low appraisal can prevent a mortgage from going to underwriting. The buyer can also try to negotiate for a lower sale price or offer to put down more cash to bridge the appraisal gap.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.
