"I met Chuck while visiting one of his listings I found online.  He was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to be around so I decided to give him a call back as I was looking at some other properties.  After that, I spent about a year looking at houses because I am very picky and Chuck stuck with me the whole way and was very helpful throughout the entire process.  I didn't quite know what I wanted but I knew I looking for something very specific that had to be something special.  He probably showed me 30 to 50 houses throughout my search, never loosing patience or interest in my feedback.   He made recommendations based on his knowledge of the area and was happy to show me anything I found on the internet as well.  I often felt like he was just as interested in seeing the houses as I was.  He even worked with my schedule squeezing in showings when we could find time.   
My favorite thing about searching for houses with Chuck was that he is very laid back and fun to be around.  He provides the professional knowledge and experience you want from a Realtor without ever pressuring me to make a decision.  I always felt like I was visiting with one of my friends that happened to be a real estate professional and had a key to all the houses.  
I finally found a house that I loved and he jumped on it.  Less than a month later we closed.  I had to do almost nothing accept get my documents together for the loan, show up to closing, and move my stuff into my new house.  It's been 5 months now since I moved in and Chuck still keeps in touch and is very helpful with answering any questions I've had about being a homeowner.  He's even stopped by a few times to see how things are going and deliver paperwork so I didn't have to go pick it up from the closing attorney.  
I would highly recommend Chuck if you're looking to buy or sell a house!

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

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

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

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.
