MJ/Johnson Appraisals is a fully licensed residential up to four units professional Real Estate appraisal company offering superior residential service. We provide fast and reliable service and take pride in the work we do.

"I highly recommend Mike! I sent a message through Angi, and literally within a few minutes, Mike responded to my message and called me as well. He quickly and efficiently worked with me to schedule a home appraisal that I wanted to use as part of my Cook County property tax appeal. He arrived on time as promised on the date even though we had our first snow of the season, and could not have been nicer. Mike delivered my appraisal ahead of the date we agreed on. His appraisal was thorough and the appraised value of our home is in line with current market values, and what we expected. If you need a home appraised, you definitely should contact Mike!"

"Had JS Appraisals appraise my house for a VA loan. James Reported that the house had not been updated for 15+ years. The house just had a new lifetime roof installed days before the appraisal. Also new counter tops in kitchen and bathroom. Complete repaint inside and out within three years. HVAC and Water Heater replaced 5 years ago. New carpet 3 years ago. Would not recommend."

"I've used Domicile Consulting for several homes, after initially finding the company on Angie's List. Dan Cullen is exceptionally knowledgeable, objective and insightful. Prices are reasonable and well worth the investment. Dan takes copious pictures and compiles them in a handy report with recommendations. Highly recommended."

Star Tuckpointing specializes in providing tuckpointing and masonry restoration services to commercial and residential communities. We're a family owned business where the owners make up a part of the crews. This leads to a constantly superior quality product. We have been in business since 1992, and because we keep our customers happy, most of the new work we receive is the result of a clients referral.

"I can't say enough good words about Peter, Voytek and their crew. We've had a few masonry issues in our building. In two instances, they identified that the cause of leakage was not with the brickwork, but with deteriorated window caulking, or the downspout. We appreciated their honesty. I looked high and low for a company to caulk the exterior of our high third level windows. STAR came through for us. They used a bosun chair to do the job. STAR also repaired and replaced bricks which were in disrepair, on the third level deck. Their workmanship was excellent. Peter and Voytek are very professional and knowledgeable. STAR communicated very clearly with us about their suggestions and plans."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn’t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer.

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.

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.

Updating the siding on your home can potentially increase its value. Of course, the type of siding you pick determines the return on investment you can earn. For instance, stone veneer siding has a 153% ROI, while more affordable options such as vinyl have an 80% ROI. It’s best to research which type will boost the value of your home the most if that is your ultimate goal. 

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.
