Hey guys! Niki here and I'd like to help you buy or sell your home. I'm not super salesey (is that even a word? lol) so you won't find me being pushy or trying to get you to settle on a house so I can move on to the next client. It does me no good to pressure you into buying something you will regret. I like my clients to take their time, view as many homes as they feel necessary until we find 'the one.' I'm patient, offer advice and guide you through the sometimes over whelming experience of of buying a home. Oh, you're selling? I got you! I'm a huge fan of social media and excellent photography. Your home puts its first foot forward on the internet. This is where 90% of people find homes to view. So, if your home isn't at the top of its game when it pops up online, you're in trouble. You only get one chance to make that first impression and I'm the agent who will help you put your homes BEST foot forward and get it sold for top dollar as soon as possible. Call me, text me, DM me, I'm always available to chat anytime!

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

Mold can greatly impact your home's appraisal and lower your selling price if your home's on the market. Home appraisers take mold into account when figuring out a property's overall value. Mold will lower your home's price because it poses a health risk to household members and can compromise the structural integrity of the house. Mold will require remediation, which in extreme cases can be costly, so that is factored into your home's appraisal as well.

In most cases, converting a wood fireplace to a gas fireplace will increase your home value because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth to your living area, and are far more convenient to use. Thanks to gas fireplace inserts that make your fireplace look like it’s full of burning logs, home buyers can still get the aesthetic appeal of a traditional fireplace plus the benefits of a gas fireplace if you make the conversion.

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.
