"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."

"I had Mr. James Beggs appraised one of my properties first and see how he does. I needed the step up in basis appraisal done right away so i would have the report before taxes were to be due in April. Mr. Beggs was able to do the appraisal right away, he arrived on time for our appointment to meet with him, explained my options on the appraisals and had the appraisal report within a few days. I was happy that he was able to do it right away and I was satisfied of his work so i requested him to do my other two properties as well. I requested for him to send me an online and a hard copy report of the appraisals and he did. Im a happy and a thankful client. Thanks Mr. Beggs and thank you too Home Advisor! This is my second time i used this site."

"I have hired Carlton two times now to complete appraisals for my clients. He is very professional and takes the extra time to talk to you before the appraisal to determine exactly what the job entails. His rates are extremely reasonable. His appraisals are thorough and I my opinion are very reliable which is important when the appraisal is being sent to opposing counsel. I would highly recommend him for any type of real estate appraisal you may need. Marcia Brewer"

Customers say: Quality work

"John is fantastic! I hired him to appraise a home in Redondo Beach and found him to be extremely thorough, fair and knowledgeable about the neighborhood. He was quick to turn around his report and even followed up to ensure I had everything I needed after the work was completed. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a home appraisal."

"Tom, Adam, and their entire team have been great to work with. They were not the least expensive bid, but the prompt response and professionalism had me sold. I am so glad I chose them. The communication has been great. The quality of the work is superior. Everyone who has entered my condo has been very respectful and understands how to handle an HOA. Even thought there have been delays on special order items due to Covid, I always know where we stand and what to expect. They have gone above and beyond to make sure I am happy. I would definitely hire them again."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

You may be able to negotiate an as-is purchase, but many sellers who list their homes as-is aren’t willing to lower their asking price since they’ve already accounted for the price of repairs. Homes are often listed as-is for a quick sale, so there’s a chance a seller may negotiate in order to make the sale—it never hurts to ask.

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.

From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. 

A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.
