"The team did a great job. Provided everything to help us along the way. Found a buyer in 14 days, sold it at asking price, it all went extremely smooth. The team kept us informed, and was always available to answer questions. We have bought and sold properties before but this was superb, the new way to do real estate! We saved so much money!! Incredible, would highly recommend!"

"After researching online about Safe and Sound Security and Monitronics made an appointment with Brian Jaime to meet at 6pm. Brain was on time for the appointment and very professional. Brian was polite, respectful, not pushy, transparent, and explained the packages and what is best suited for our home. He was a good listener too which something you may not see in some of the business developers. I know instead of calling Brian a sales person I called him a Business developer this is because a sales man or woman is only interested in selling his product for a certain price and bad mouths other competition. When I mentioned to Brian that I have been talking to other outfits, he explained the difference in service and methods of business operation between them and the others. His first point was all about quality. Safe and Sound located out of Walnut Creek has been the #1 dealer in quality aspect for the last 5 years. This impressed the heck out of me as myself  working in a big Corporation where we internally compete every year to bag the top spot in quality and I will tell you that is not easy. Therefore with him defining what he and his team brings and the value of it from others definitely made him get my contract.



I signed into their standard 3 year contract for a reasonable price for the package I got. I am writing this review at this time and giving Safe and Sound Security 5 stars for their professional approach towards developing their business, transparency, quality, genuine interest towards their customers.  



They are a local outfit and the way this outfit works is, the contract, equipment installation, maintenance, and any trouble shoot calls will be handled by Safe and Sound Security team in house. you call their local customer support number during normal business hours of Mon - Sat 8 am to 9 pm and on other hours the call is answered by Monitronics and a ticket is issued and forwarded to Safe and Sound for action. you can call and if you are local you can walk into their office to request service. Being local is a plus for me. Monitronics renders 24/7 monitoring support. However, your contract is with Safe and Sound security.



Safe and Sound have been around for 8 years and to bag 5 years of #1 spot in quality service is great achievement and I expect that same service moving forward :) So far my experience has been great, have scheduled installation with tech today. will update my review with the installation experience and my future experience with this team

"Over a period of about a month, Teri showed us a wide variety of homes.  We met almost daily to view different properties. 
 She narrowed down the choices as she figured out our priorities. After researching comps and assessing the market, Teri helped us make an offer that was accepted almost immediately. Love my new home!

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
