Charlie called right away and we were able to schedule an appointment for the very next day. I really appreciated his timeliness, especially right before a holiday. Within 2 days, the appraisal report was complete! Charlie was also very easy to talk with and listened intently to various items that would accurately reflect the value of the property."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

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. 

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
