Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

If you are considering buying a home with a cesspool, you will need to weigh the potential costs and hassles. Your primary decision will be whether to maintain the existing system or replace it. Maintaining a cesspool involves ongoing expenses for services like aeration, pumping, and cleaning. Alternatively, you could dismantle the system and replace it with a modern septic tank or connect to a public sewage line, which involves significant upfront costs. It is also crucial to check local and state regulations, as some jurisdictions require that cesspools be replaced before a home can be sold. Ultimately, you must decide for yourself if the financial investment and effort are worth it for the property in question.

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

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.

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.

You should aim to have three or more bedrooms for the best resale value, and having four bedrooms is considered the gold standard. Having just two bedrooms is a functional obsolescence for larger family sizes, so a minimum of three bedrooms is ideal. Adding square footage from additional bedrooms will almost always be worthwhile, though, and can easily provide an ROI of 70%.
