Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) Chicago Association of Realtors Top Producer (top 10%) 16 years of experience as a broker and investor

"Craig was made for Angie’s List, because he is an excellent Realtor. From our initial conversation, I felt Craig would be able to cope with my controlling nature. I am older than he, but he treated me as if he were my big brother. Craig gave me the patience, guidance and respect that I had not experienced with other Realtors. He worked with the tenants to show the unit in its best light. When they moved out, he reassessed the unit and advised me to not make costly cosmetic changes. Craig made me aware of the unit’s progress almost daily, either by email, phone or text. He knew I was and out of my depth with this process, but he never let on to it. He patiently explained his sales strategy and I made it mine. The unit was priced at $150,000 and it was not lowered until we needed to negotiate with a buyer. Realtors showed the unit, some surveys and submitted and then into the third month we had an offer. Craig negotiated with the prospect and secured a good price. After being on the market for 93 days, the unit was sold for $143,000. I believe other 2 bedrooms 2 baths units were on the market for 400+ days, in my building. Craig, thank you for 3 months of your brotherly attention."

"Mr. Keller was very helpful. He listened to our request and then advised us on the least expensive way to accomplish what we needed. He invited us to send information & photos of the item and got right back to us with his assessment of the sale potential, a ballpark estimate of value, and connected us to an auction business that could sell it for us. He did not charge us for his time at all. We could not be happier—he understood better than we did that we didn’t need full appraisal services and met our needs without charging us (though he certainly could have provided services that were unnecessary for our situation and charged us for them, and we wouldn’t have known the difference). This is the very definition of integrity and trustworthiness! We will absolutely call him again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.
