"We found a home that we fell in love with that was listed through the Todd Cook Team. They were absolute professionals helping us through the process, and incredibly responsive. When it came time to put our old house up for sale, it was the Todd Cook Team that we called to handle the listing. When it came to selling the old place, Todd gave us fantastic advice on what upgrades to focus on and how to prepare for the process. The Todd Cook Team is a true partner when it comes to buying and selling your home!"

"Kelly Johnson and his wife Cher are very professional, capable real estate agents. They provided a detailed analysis of our property and were upfront and honest with their appraisal of it. They listened to me and helped me with my concerns.  They kept in touch throughout the whole process. They provided help with finding the next property by sending listings to me via email that met my criteria along with physical showings of properties. They look out for your best interests, and move you for free once you sell. I would not hesitate to call on them again for real estate services.

"They listened very carefully to what we were interested in, looked around for homes that fit that criteria and found us one we liked. They did a good job of bargaining and telling us what was a good offer to give them. They got the seller to come down a little on the price. We were very happy with their service and they were always there when we needed to call them with any questions or concerns. They did a great job and were excellent. I highly recommend them."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
