"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

Yes, adding a pergola can add value to your home and provides an excellent selling point for potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living. Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment. To add more value, choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and have it professionally installed. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may also give you a better return on investment.

Yes, in many cases, a stamped concrete patio can increase your property's value. It is an affordable way to add elegance and utility to your backyard, which many prospective buyers will appreciate and may be willing to pay a premium for. Stamped concrete is highly durable; when installed by a professional, it can last for 40 years or more with proper care, and it is also relatively easy and affordable to repair. While a permanent patio may raise your property taxes, the added value and buyer interest often make it a worthwhile investment.

You'll notice that many projects that add value to your home involve increasing curb appeal. Adding an aluminum fence improves the style of your yard and the safety levels for pools, pets, and backyard playtime. You can also choose aluminum fence designs with unique ornamental features or paint the fence to match your home's style.

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.

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.
