"Did what was requested in a timely manner. No hassles which is exactly what a person needs when dealing with the loss of a spouse. This was specific for an estate appraisal. Not an appraisal to buy real estate. This is for estate tax purposes which is different. Thank you."

Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, in many cases, a stamped concrete patio can increase your property's value. It is an affordable way to add elegance and utility to your backyard, which many prospective buyers will appreciate and may be willing to pay a premium for. Stamped concrete is highly durable; when installed by a professional, it can last for 40 years or more with proper care, and it is also relatively easy and affordable to repair. While a permanent patio may raise your property taxes, the added value and buyer interest often make it a worthwhile investment.

A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.

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.

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

Appraisals typically take 2-3 hours on-site, with reports delivered in 2-5 business days.
