I am a true Iowan! Born and raised in Cedar Rapids and I have never moved away. Why move when I feel like I already live in one of the best cities in the country already?! The only career I could ever see myself happy at was being in real estate. But it wasn't something a person can just jump into and I knew I'd have to wait until the timing was right. After graduating with my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, I started managing a local business and did for that for the next 7 yrs. While I gained a wealth of knowledge and met some amazing people, ultimately I knew that's not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and so my thoughts came back to real estate. It was my dream job and why not go for it! .... so I did and this takes me to where I am today.... Loving real estate and the great company that I work for!! Coldwell Banker Hedges provides a family-like atmosphere. Coldwell has high expectations for all of their agents and they provide the best tools in town for marketing and getting homes sold in a timely manner.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
