"John with JB Appraisals is totally top of the line! My time and money was well-spent. John arrived promptly and performed a thorough and professional appraisal. I was thrilled with John s speed and accuracy, since he delivered the appraisal to the bank even faster than initially estimated. John is very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. It was a pleasure doing business with him. I will not hesitate to use John again, and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone getting a residential real estate appraisal."

Once I put the request on Angi I got 3 calls from different agents and Tom understand my situation and how urgent I needed this appraisal. He was so understanding and friendly and was able to get the appraisal by the time line I needed for in a matter of 24hrs. So if you need an appraisal Tom is your go to guy I 100% recommend anyone to hire him. Thank you for your business."

"Tom McNeeley did an appraisal of my home for a property tax appeal before the Illinois property tax appeal aboard (PTAB) and provided expert testimony supporting his appraisal at the appeal hearing before the administrative law judge (ALJ). His appraisal was comprehensive and fair and his testimony before the ALJ was thorough and skillful. Tom was very accommodative with his time and was easy to work with. I thought his fee for the appraisal and for his expert testimony were very fair. I highly recommend using McNeeley Appraisals, particularly with respect to property tax cases."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.
