"I have hired Carlton two times now to complete appraisals for my clients. He is very professional and takes the extra time to talk to you before the appraisal to determine exactly what the job entails. His rates are extremely reasonable. His appraisals are thorough and I my opinion are very reliable which is important when the appraisal is being sent to opposing counsel. I would highly recommend him for any type of real estate appraisal you may need. Marcia Brewer"

Customers say: Quick response

"I needed to have a fair and unbiased appraisal by a certified appraiser to assess property values as of the date of my mother's passing. I spoke with Randy and by the answers he gave to my questions, I determined he was the right professional to engage with. His reports were consistent in methodology, clearly explained in each category, and well accepted by my estate attorney for the exercise. Beyond that, he was professional with his dealings with me and did not hesitate to take the necessary time to ensure I understood the appraisal contents."

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

As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property’s structure, it shouldn’t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer’s report before making a final decision.

Yes, home additions almost always increase a home's value and can be a good investment by enhancing both its utility and square footage. The actual return depends on several factors, including the type of addition, quality of work, and local market conditions. Key additions like extra bedrooms, bathrooms, and larger kitchens tend to offer the highest returns. For example, adding a primary suite might result in a 63% return on investment, while a sunroom may yield around a 49% return. For the best results, additions should be well-planned to integrate seamlessly with the existing structure.

There are a few reasons why barn doors are appealing to homebuyers: they’re unique and add a rustic charm to any home. While interior barn doors are a newer favorite of homeowners, when it comes to trendy renovations—like soaking tubs, farmhouse sinks, and barn doors—it’s best to wait to see if the trend withstands the test of time before making the investment.

A land survey defines and records the physical aspects of a property, including its boundaries, dimensions, easements, features, and sometimes topographical information. In contrast, a land appraisal determines the property's monetary value. While an appraiser will often consult a land survey to understand the property's physical specifications, the survey itself does not determine the land's value.

Adding a wine cellar, wine cave, or customized wine storage of any kind to your property can add significant value if you eventually decide to put it on the market. Even if some prospective buyers are not wine drinkers themselves, having a wine cellar or wine cave makes the property more desirable overall.
