"I had the pleasure of working with Wojciech Leja (FYI he pronounces it Voy-CHECK) from My Florida Home Appraisal / and I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism and in-depth knowledge, particularly when it comes to navigating the FEMA 50/50 rule. Wojciech took the time to thoroughly explain the nuances of the 50/50 rule, which can be quite complex for homeowners. He made sure I fully understood how it applies to my property, helping me make informed decisions about potential FEMA assistance for repairs or rebuilding. His expertise in this area was invaluable and helped relieve a lot of stress. Beyond his expertise, Wojciech was prompt, responsive, and genuinely cared about ensuring I had a clear understanding of the process every step of the way. If you’re in Hillsborough/Pinellas and need someone who knows their stuff when it comes to FEMA regulations and appraisals, I highly recommend Wojciech Leja at My Florida at Home Appraisal."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

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.

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.
