"As a trustee of an estate I am overwhelmed with all of the frustrating hoops I need to jump through, the confusion, the lack of response from different agencies. But one thing went right: the appraisal of real property by Damon. Prompt and reasonable."

"Charlie was great to work with. Most of the time appraisers will get an order to do an appraisal and call you in the next few days. 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."

"I recently engaged the services of FirstSum for a property appraisal, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Rob demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism throughout the entire process. His attention to detail during the property inspection was commendable, and they provided valuable insights into the local real estate market. The final appraisal report was delivered promptly and was both comprehensive and easy to understand. I highly recommend FirstSum for their expertise and exceptional service for all your real estate appraisal needs."

"Theresa is fabulous from start to finish. She responded to my inquiry right away, discussed our needs and preferences, and immediately began sending MLS listings through her online system so we could do a significant amount of narrowing before traveling to San Diego. We therefore spent the weeks before our trip there narrowing our options and getting to know the market, and she was very attentive to our comments, adjusting to our needs as we moved through the process. Theresa has a great eye for property, and a keen sense of how to adapt to her clients' preferences. She is dedicated and tirelessly worked with our schedule. For example, because of our limited time, she kept working after a full day of looking at property to send us some more possibilities in case we wanted to see something more before heading out of town. Once we were in escrow, Theresa's skills became even more evident as she coached us through all the steps of a careful house inspection and toward a smooth closing. She kept every "t" crossed and every "i" dotted as we hurdled through the mounds of paperwork, and she was always available to talk through any aspect of the process. I can't say enough about Theresa Davis; she is a truly stellar real estate agent."

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

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. 

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.
