"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!"

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.

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. 

Installing a flagpole can improve your home’s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You’ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will trimming trees away from the new lawn addition.

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.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.
