"When we first found Jeff, my wife and I were at our wits end.  We were first time homebuyers, and we felt that searching for our first home should be fun and exiciting.   Prior to meeting Jeff, we just felt stressed out and that everyone was out to take advantage of us, or that as buyers (and not sellers) we were not their top priority.  That all changed when we initially met with Jeff.  He is very passionate about what he does, and after our first meeting with him we finally felt excited.  

Jeff started with our ideal area, and worked out, which provided us with a daily report on any homes for sale in our ideal area.  Within one week we were contigent on an amzaing home in our ideal area at a fair price.  Jeff really knew the market, and got us a great price on our first home.  It was already appraised at several thousand dollars more than we purchased it for.  Further,  Jeff worked tirelessly throughout the whole process.   He was extemely responsive, and went above and beyond to keep us informed and satisfied at all times. For instance, if we had questions at 9 pm on a Sunday or any other weeknight, he would answer within a few minutes.  If you are buying a house, do yourself a favor and work with Jeff, and don't waste time with a different agent.  

Last but not least,  Jeff was able to give us an extememely competitive rate on our mortgage loan.  He was far and away the least expensive option.  At one point I even went to Chase Bank to get a competing quote, and when the loan officer there heard I was working with Jeff, he said "don't waste your time i never beat that guy.""

"We rented from Fundamental Property Management two years ago and could not be happier with the level of responsiveness and professionalism we have received. When we were moving in we asked if additional cleaning could be done, I simply wasn’t satisfied with the previous tenants attempt, and they immediately jumped into action. When the dishwasher broke we had an instant response from the company and waited the normal amount of time for a replacement. They purchased a quality unit which to me says they care about the longevity of their appliances and care for the needs of their tenants. Thank you Fundamenal Property Management for your care and time with our needs!"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

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). 

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.
