"We had eight properties appraised for our parentâ s estate. This took a LOT of coordination as they are all rentals. Chris was great in working with our tenants, flexible, professional and courteous with all parties involved. Our appraisals were completed in a timely manner. As a former real estate loan underwriter, I can attest that all of the appraisals were done in a professional manner, accurate and represented the current market. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris Circuit for any appraisal needs that you may have."

"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."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Termite damage isn’t always a deal breaker when buying a house, but don’t dismiss it. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional termite inspection to understand the extent of the damage, type of termite, state of repairs, and whether the infestation is gone.

If the termites are gone and the current owners repaired the damage, you might want to proceed. You may even be able to use the damage as a bargaining point. However, don’t forget that home insurance policies often don’t cover termite treatment or repairs and active infestations are tricky to shift.

Appraisals do not come with warranties but are considered accurate at the time of assessment. Market changes can affect values.

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.

Adding a well can increase your home value by as much as 10%, especially if you live on a property without a connection to municipal water. But you’ll want to hire a skilled well and pump contractor for installation because an improperly installed well could actually decrease the property value.
