"Bob McCall went above and beyond during the Christmas Holidays to prepare two (2) appraisals and reports that were on a very short deadline. Mr. McCall is an asset to his profession and to our community. I appreciate Bob's courtesies and willingness to help us at a time when others were getting ready for and celebrating Christmas. Thank you, again, Bob. Clara T."

"John came out to the house & did a thorough inspection measuring the home for correct living SF. They were at the appointment as scheduled, very professional, & answered all my questions/concerns. The appraisal was completed in the specified time. The appraisal came back and was very informative & really helped my confidence in the value of the home, which sold in 10 days within 3 thousand dollars of the ultimate sales price & the appraisal. The appraisal came in higher than I thought & initially had concerns. In the end they were right & kept me from leaving money on the table. I listed the home for sale by owner which I do not think would have went so smoothly without the knowledge of my home obtained through the appraisal I received & I am confident that my home was sold and bought at a fair price. Thanks, M&M"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

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.

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.
