"The work was performed extremely capably and produced an evaluation that should stand me in good stead as I appeal an excessive property tax revaluation. Akrivis provided me with an accurate, well documented report and took only seven days to do it. I am very pleased."

"Swanson appraisals are one of the best firms in the country. Iâ ve been in the industry for 26 years and wish I could use them in every state. You would have to search long and hard to find a company as worthy of your business. Their accuracy and careful attention to details in their reports are rare."

"The first meeting with Jeff I noticed he had a keen perception of people. He asked me pointed questions to understand what my needs and wants were. He showed me only a handful of condos before I found the place that was perfect for me. He even negotiated a lower price than I had expected to pay! Jeff also helped me with my loan and managed to locate a loan with a lower percentage rate on my 30 year fixed loan. The process was stressful since I was a first time home buyer. Jeff made it as painless as possible. He answered every single question without delay, patience, and was extremely knowledgeable. I will use Jeff again and will refer him to anyone looking to buy property."

I have used her service numerous times to have my assessment appealed on my house. The tax saved for 3 years of the assessment cycle with the second installment of my 2014 real estate tax bill is $2557.59. They are very professional and would recommend them to reduce your taxes. My brother who owns two apartment buildings also has used their services. Angie's List had a $50.00 coupon off of their services which reduced my fee to $291.04.

"Fundamental Property Management is who we worked with to rent a house in Westmont. We have lived here for almost three years. The house is great and we really like it. Moving in was easy and there were no issues. When things have gone wrong with the house, they were mostly on top of getting someone here to fix the issue. They are the go between between you and the landlord so it takes time depending on how responsive everyone is. We have most recently had to keep up with them taking rent out of our account. We were not charged a late fee but the online portal they use is not the best system. When we first moved in the landlord would be here occasionally painting the deck and had a lawn service come in the spring. For the past two years that hasn’t happened. We continue the upkeep ourselves. Overall I would say we are mostly satisfied. The only other issue is that it is hard to speak directly to someone so there is sometimes a response delay."

"I bought a deal on Angies Big Deal.
Scheduling went well.
They were a bit late showing up to the job but not a big deal.
The father was very responsive and assertive.  The son did what he asked.
The light was installed with a gap between the fixture and the brick wall, which they informed me of after they were done with all of my work. They told me to go buy silicone from Home Depot, which I did but the gap was so large (1" or more) that silicone won't work.  It was a real problem because there is electrical there and with weather, water/snow would easily get back there.   
The PVC work was done well, and it wasn't exactly an easy thing to address.
Understanding this is a handyman service, i was still surprised at some of the things they were asking me to supply to do the work.  It felt like they were essentially just labor without relevant tools.
I also felt uncomfortable with them in general from a personality standpoint.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Adding a second story can increase the resale value of your home, but your cost-to-value ratio might not give you the return on investment (ROI) you were looking for. Also, there are factors to keep in mind that can impact the value of your home, such as market conditions, your neighborhood, curb appeal, and functionality. If you’re hoping this project will give you a significant ROI, talk with a realtor to see what potential increase you can expect and what you can do to maximize your home’s value.

An attic ladder could increase your home’s value. This is especially true if there was no access before and you plan to turn your attic into a valuable bonus space, like a bedroom, home office, or a beautifully organized and updated storage space. Potential buyers would likely see easy attic access as an attractive selling point.

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 differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.
