"The square footage in our appraisal was significantly incorrect, and when I pointed it out, backed it up with evidence. the only change made was swapping out one comp ? with no explanation for how nearly 400 sq ft of over-reported space would not reduce the value. I explained he could come remeasure and that was ignored. I even provided better comps at the appraiser?s request, but those were ignored as well. My final email addressing the valuation issues was never acknowledged. It has now been nearly a week with no response. This cost me time and money, and then we had to hire a second appraiser to correct the mistakes. Truly a frustrating and unprofessional experience to work with this appraiser."

I was raised in Mokena and have lived in the south suburbs my entire life. I am proud to serve the south suburban area, and am more than happy to work in other surrounding areas to achieve your real estate goals. I received my MA in Public Policy and Administration from National Louis University where I researched housing patterns throughout Chicagoland. I have since led a career in social services and nonprofit management with successful results in community outreach and program development in Chicago and the south suburbs. Working in social services has taught me that people need and want different accommodations to successfully achieve their goals. As Realtor, I believe that same concept should be applied when buying or selling a home. I will carefully listen to your wants and needs in order to get your real estate goals accomplished!

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

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.

Home additions can add significant value to a home by increasing its overall square footage and enhancing a home's functionality and appeal. Key additions such as extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or larger kitchens offer the highest returns on investment. Well-planned additions that seamlessly integrate with the existing structure and match the neighborhood's style can boost curb appeal and market value. However, the actual increase in value depends on the quality of the work, the types of additions, and the current real estate market conditions.

It depends on the location of the home and, more particularly, the region’s climate. For example, a Florida homeowner can rest assured they won’t lose money at resale if their home doesn’t have a fireplace. However, buyers in Minnesota or other northern states known for frigid winters might offer a lower price if the home doesn’t come equipped with another way to stay warm.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

Yes, if you maintain and clean your skylights often, they will undoubtedly add value to your home. With the right frame material and glazing material for your climate, a skylight is attractive to buyers because it increases natural light and helps to reduce energy bills. With both aesthetic and monetary bonuses, skylights are a no-brainer for many people.
