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

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

No, home improvement loan rates typically do not drop during certain times of the year. Interest rates go up and down based on economic conditions rather than on the time of the year. Some banks may offer slight rate discounts around the same holidays every year, but this is a marketing decision rather than a decision based on the time of the year. If you want to use a home improvement loan to fund your remodeling project, the best option is to shop around at different banks for the best rates.

The short answer is yes. Room additions almost always increase a home's value. But just how much they increase it varies by the materials you choose, the type of room you build, and other factors. For instance, adding a sunroom will yield you a 49% return on your investment, while adding a primary suite results in a 63% return on your investment.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Some of the home repairs with the highest ROI that can improve appraised value include exterior paint, new exterior doors, new windows, landscaping, kitchen and bathroom renovations, new flooring, new interior paint, finishing a basement, home additions that add to the square footage, and replacing major components, like the roof, heating and cooling equipment, and the water heater. Upgrades to home energy efficiency are also a big hit with buyers and can add significantly to value, as are smart home integrations.
