"We hired Mr Haase to appraise the value of our home so one owner could buy the other one out. We needed a detailed and accurate assessment that took the various improvements we made into account, but didn't inflate the value for things that would not normally affect the sales price. Mr. Haase was quick and responsive, was able to do the appraisal right away and send his final report within a couple of days, the final report was fair and detailed, and the price was very affordable. We would recommend Mr Haase to anyone looking for the same."

"Do yourself a favor, and if you need an agent, select Cindy. When Cindy heard I was trying to sell the out of state property of my deceased Dad, she stepped into the picture- from a distance- to touch base with me throughout the process. This is the consummate professional with a fabulous sense of humor as well. Just as an unsolicited advisor she volunteered more useful strategies and information than my NY realtor. She is a powerful professional to have advising you."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

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.

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.
