We are a reputable real estate appraisal company. We take pride in our ability to exceed expectations in all aspects of business.

"I'm writing to follow up on my recent experience with Jake Min from Silicon Valley Pioneer Real Estate. His appraisal of my rental property exceeded my expectations in several key areas. First, the comprehensiveness of the report was remarkable. It went far beyond a simple valuation, offering detailed insights into the property's condition, market comparables, and potential areas for improvement. This level of detail will be invaluable as I plan future investments and maintenance for the property. Second, Jake's professionalism was impeccable. He arrived punctually for the scheduled appointment, conducted himself with utmost courtesy throughout the process, and delivered the appraisal report within three days, as promised. His clear and concise communication ensured a smooth and efficient experience. Beyond the technical aspects, I found Jake to be extremely personable and approachable. He took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly and patiently, explaining complex details"

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

A heated driveway can increase your home’s value depending on where you live and the age of your system. If you live in a region with very heavy snowfall, this feature will be more desirable amongst potential buyers. If you don’t plan to sell your home for another 15 years or more, then it likely won’t be a big selling feature as the technology will have aged too much over time. A heated driveway will only increase your home value if you’re planning to sell your home in the next two to five years.

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.

A good return on flipping a house ranges from 10% to 20% of the after-repair value. Many investors aim for a profit margin of at least 15% to ensure their efforts and risks are worthwhile. This percentage accounts for costs like repairs, financing, holding costs, and closing fees, while also providing a solid profit.

Finishing a basement can add value to your house by transforming an unused area into valuable living space. Finished basements can provide an average 70% return on investment (ROI), depending on your area and the type of basement. As long as you follow all local building codes, including installing points of egress, you may be able to count a finished basement toward your home’s total square footage.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.
