"I have had David work on multiple appraisals for my various properties I have remodeled. His work was phenomenal and was incredibly efficient! Even with my sporadic schedule he accommodated every reschedule I needed. Top-notch work and communication."
"Jeff and team were awesome, on-point, knowledgeable and gave me the best possible advice. We have had two transactions done with Jeff and look forward to doing more business with him. He will look out for you as a client and will speak on your best interest. Jeff and team are amazing."
"The time spent at my home was good to gather information about the residential property being appraised and the appraisal report was very thorough. The home appraised much higher than expected, but comparables were limited to other properties in the area whioh were more updated."
Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.
While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.
Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.
A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.
