"I can’t speak highly enough of Penny Smith as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and complex work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail-oriented, honest, good with people, and has a knack for selling homes. We sold our home one week after it was listed and received $125,000 over asking."

Customers say: Quality work

"My husband and I worked with John and Heather from NorthStar Appraisal Services to have a property we own appraised. Both of them were incredibly professional and friendly. They walked us through their entire process and answered all of the questions and concerns we had. The report was emailed to me (my preference) in no time at all and was exactly what we wanted and needed. Overall, we were very pleased with their services and will not hesitate to contact them for our next property appraisal. 10/10 absolutely recommend."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

A heated driveway can increase your home's value, particularly in regions that experience heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, making the feature highly desirable to potential buyers. The value added is often greatest if you plan to sell within two to five years of installation, as the technology will be current. If you don't plan to sell for 15 years or more, an aged system may not be a significant selling point. However, even installing the basic components without activating the system can still add value by giving a future buyer the option to complete the installation.

You should aim to have three or more bedrooms for the best resale value, and having four bedrooms is considered the gold standard. Having just two bedrooms is a functional obsolescence for larger family sizes, so a minimum of three bedrooms is ideal. Adding square footage from additional bedrooms will almost always be worthwhile, though, and can easily provide an ROI of 70%.

In most cases, installing skylights will add value to your home, making them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners. Buyers are often attracted to the aesthetic appeal of skylights, as they make rooms feel brighter, airier, and more spacious by introducing natural light without compromising privacy. Beyond aesthetics, skylights can offer monetary benefits by potentially reducing energy bills. Additionally, models that can be opened provide extra ventilation, which is particularly useful in hotter climates for allowing accumulated hot air to escape from the ceiling. However, the return on investment depends on several factors. To maximize value, it's crucial that the skylights are installed by an experienced professional to avoid risks like water damage, which can deter savvy buyers. Regular maintenance and cleaning are also important. Furthermore, choosing the right frame and glazing materials for your specific climate will enhance their performance and appeal. While skylights are generally seen as an asset, homeowners should also consider the initial cost, which averages around $1,500 for installation.

Garden windows can add value to your home and are an attractive feature for potential homebuyers. These windows add a custom look to your home and usable shelf space for homeowners with a green thumb. You’ll likely recoup your investment when it comes time to sell.

Yes, high ceilings can increase your home's value when it's time to sell. According to some studies, homes with ceilings 9 feet or higher can sell for up to 6% more than homes with lower ceilings. Buyers often have a greater perceived value of homes with high ceilings because they appreciate the extra space and modern feel. While other factors like your home's location and overall condition are more impactful, raising your ceilings can be a worthwhile investment if you plan to sell in the future.
