"Mr. Keller was very helpful. He listened to our request and then advised us on the least expensive way to accomplish what we needed. He invited us to send information & photos of the item and got right back to us with his assessment of the sale potential, a ballpark estimate of value, and connected us to an auction business that could sell it for us. He did not charge us for his time at all. We could not be happier—he understood better than we did that we didn’t need full appraisal services and met our needs without charging us (though he certainly could have provided services that were unnecessary for our situation and charged us for them, and we wouldn’t have known the difference). This is the very definition of integrity and trustworthiness! We will absolutely call him again."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.

For homeowners who love the charm and character of historic homes, renovating is well worth the invested cost. Keep in mind, though, that historic homes often need more extensive work than you might think at first, so be sure you know exactly what needs to be done so you can decide for yourself if the time, money, and effort are worth it for you.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

Yes, high ceilings can increase your home value when it’s time to sell. There are other factors that are more impactful, like your home’s location and condition, but homes with high ceilings have a greater perceived value than ones with average ceiling heights. Buyers like the extra space and modern vibe that vaulted ceilings offer.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.
