"
In the past, I was always a little wary of companies that made these kinds of offers - I didn't think that they could really do very much about property taxes.  

But I was referred to Andrea Raila by my neighbor, so I thought I would give them a try. 

I contacted them by phone and gave them the information about our property.  They explained how the process worked, and sent forms out to me for signature.  I signed the forms and sent them back and that was it.  Upon receiving the reduction in taxes, I got a letter telling me the good news.  We were very pleased with the outcome!  We were also told that they felt that we could get a further reduction for the next year's taxes.

This company knows what they are doing and we will certainly use them in the future. All in all, this is a very professional organization and I would recommend their services to anyone."

"I hired Kwolf Consulting for an appraisal on my own home. He did five area comparisons and provided a very detailed report on my home and in comparison to the other homes listed in the report. This gave me a great "peace of mind" knowing exactly where I stand at this moment. If I am not mistaken, Keith has achieved a Senior Real Estate Appraiser status, something that is not granted without special training, education and years of experience. Based on my experience with his high quality and professional service, I highly recommend him to others."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

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.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

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.
