Helping others find their new home is a huge responsibility and one that I don't take lightly. Real estate is an investment. When shopping for a new home, I take pride in advising my clients based on their personal goals and expected outcomes. While no real estate agent can predict everything that could happen in a home, I can spot things that other agents may not be able to. I grew up with a father in the HVAC field, and he did a lot of construction on the weekends. I learned things to look for and any hidden damages. Choosing me to help you purchase your next home just makes sense.

We started as a rental property/landlord company in 2007. After having countless issues with finding reliable, reasonable and ethical contractors, we started our own contracting service. We understand the problems homeowners face in finding a skilled contractor who will provide a timely bid, follow through with the timeline presented and charge according to promised bid or hourly rate. Greg Schenck has worked in all facets of home improvement for 20 years and if not directly doing the improvements himself, is on site to supervise any contracted labor directly, working alongside them. All labor costs are communicated up front with bids in writing and all receipts for materials are provided directly to the homeowner (no loading material costs). We are partnered with a real estate appraisal firm which provides consulting services to assist homeowners in determining which improvements will add value to a home and which may not.

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. 

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

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). 

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.
