"I can’t speak highly enough of Penny Smith as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and complex work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail-oriented, honest, good with people, and has a knack for selling homes. We sold our home one week after it was listed and received $125,000 over asking."

Customers say: Quality work

"My husband and I worked with John and Heather from NorthStar Appraisal Services to have a property we own appraised. Both of them were incredibly professional and friendly. They walked us through their entire process and answered all of the questions and concerns we had. The report was emailed to me (my preference) in no time at all and was exactly what we wanted and needed. Overall, we were very pleased with their services and will not hesitate to contact them for our next property appraisal. 10/10 absolutely recommend."

Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

Yes, a well-maintained gazebo can increase your property's value and marketability. The most appealing gazebos to potential buyers are typically large, well-designed, and constructed from high-quality, durable materials. Extra features like built-in seating or electrical outlets can also be attractive. Conversely, small, flimsy, or run-down gazebos are unlikely to add value. While a gazebo can be a positive feature, it generally offers a lower return on investment compared to a deck. It's also worth noting that professional landscaping, in general, can increase a home's property value by up to 15%.

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. 

Repiping a house is a worthy investment in several scenarios. Key indicators that it's time to repipe include having pipes that are over 50 years old, experiencing frequent leaks and repairs, or noticing signs of corrosion and low water quality. It is especially important to replace pipes made from certain materials; lead pipes can cause serious health issues, galvanized steel can lead to rusty water, and polybutylene pipes can leach chemicals into your water supply.

Investing in new plumbing can prevent costly problems like water damage and mold growth. New pipes can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years, saving you money on future repairs and high water bills. Repiping can also increase your home's overall value and improve efficiency, for example, by using PEX pipes for lines that don't carry hot water. The cost to repipe a house typically ranges from $1,500 to $15,000.

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