"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."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Repiping a house is a worthy investment in several scenarios. Key indicators that it's time to repipe include having pipes that are over 50 years old, experiencing frequent leaks and repairs, or noticing signs of corrosion and low water quality. It is especially important to replace pipes made from certain materials; lead pipes can cause serious health issues, galvanized steel can lead to rusty water, and polybutylene pipes can leach chemicals into your water supply.

Investing in new plumbing can prevent costly problems like water damage and mold growth. New pipes can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years, saving you money on future repairs and high water bills. Repiping can also increase your home's overall value and improve efficiency, for example, by using PEX pipes for lines that don't carry hot water. The cost to repipe a house typically ranges from $1,500 to $15,000.

A land survey defines and records the physical aspects of a property, including its boundaries, dimensions, easements, features, and sometimes topographical information. In contrast, a land appraisal determines the property's monetary value. While an appraiser will often consult a land survey to understand the property's physical specifications, the survey itself does not determine the land's value.

Installing a new home theater or upgrading your current one will likely add value to your home, as many prospective buyers will consider it an exciting bonus feature. However, the value of a home theater is subjective and depends on the buyer, so there’s no guarantee that it’ll increase your home sale value. Keep in mind that home theaters typically have a return on investment rate of about 65%.

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.

Having a Level 2 charger can increase your home value, especially as electric vehicles become more popular. Homebuyers who have EVs or are interested in getting one will appreciate the convenience of a ready-to-use charging station. The added value can vary based on location and buyer preferences.
