"Teri's professional and friendly manner always made her a pleasure to deal with. Her responsiveness was close to amazing at times. Facing a purchase deadline we decided on the spur of the moment that it would be a good  idea to consult with a contractor about some changes we were considering. Teri immediately made a phone call and an excellent contractor was at the door within the hour to answer our questions.  We were very happy that we chose Teri to help us purchase our property and we recommend her without hesitation to any other prospective buyers or sellers."

Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, gas fireplaces can increase your home's value by as much as 12%. They are a sought-after feature because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth, and are more convenient than wood-burning fireplaces. Modern gas inserts can also provide the traditional aesthetic appeal that buyers like. To ensure the highest return on investment, perform regular maintenance and schedule annual professional inspections.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

While it's smart to save up about 25 percent of the price of a home—to cover the down payment and closing costs—many loans require between less than 3% down to qualify. In either case, you'll need between 3 and 6 percent for the closing and moving costs as well as a strong financial history for mortgage approval.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

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.
