Woodard Cleaning & Restoration provides residential and commercial customers in the St. Louis, MO metro area with carpet and hard surface cleaning, rug cleaning & repair, and emergency restoration and construction services following water, fire, and storm damage.

"I only trust Woodard for carpet cleaning, tile floor steam cleaning, and water restoration work. I tried another carpet cleaner once many years ago. I had to have multiple calls back to get my carpets cleaned. Woodard does it once and does it right. Woodard also did a thorough job on a sewer backup in my basement. I also like the drop off rug cleaning service and lawn chair cleaning/storage service."

The most important thing that I have learned in this business is that each client has very different needs. My approach with each of my clients is to use my years of experience, market knowledge, and understanding of the real estate laws to listen to their needs and then help them achieve their unique goals.

"Johanna was amazing. This is my second time working with her looking to buy a property. She is prompt, honest, and I truly believe is interested in looking for what fits my needs. She goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition into ownership. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking to buy a property. I assume she is equally excellent as a sellers agent as well. I plan to continue to use her in the future."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.
