"I recently had a family member pass away. My CPA said I needed an appraisal on some properties. Alan was able to help me out with a quick appraisal on a home and he was able to refer an appraiser on a commercial property located in a distant city. His work was fast and fairly priced and his referral to a distant location helped me immensely. I would use him again."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Countertops play a significant role in determining your home's resale value. High-quality, stylish countertops can attract potential buyers and increase the overall appeal of your property. Desirable materials like granite, quartz, or marble often command a higher resale price. On the other hand, outdated or damaged countertops can deter buyers and lead to lower offers. Investing in attractive, durable countertops can be a smart move to boost your home's resale value.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

They maintain profitability by setting competitive rental prices, reducing vacancies through effective marketing, and ensuring tenants renew leases by offering well-maintained properties.

If you are trying to sell a home with asbestos siding, most jurisdictions force you to disclose this in official documentation about the home. Some potential buyers may not want to purchase a home with asbestos siding, which could negatively affect their health if the siding becomes disturbed. However, as long as the siding is in good condition, some buyers may not see it as a disadvantage. You could take on the cost to replace asbestos siding if you have concerns over this material affecting your home’s resale value.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.
