How long does it take to close after an appraisal is done?

• <div><p>Mortgage underwriting is often the next step after an appraisal, and this process can take anywhere from a week to a month or more. The timeline depends on the mortgage lender’s requirements, how quickly the buyer gets the required documentation to their lender, and whether there are any issues during the underwriting process.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to buy a house for the first time?

• <div><p>Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What types of repairs should I make before scheduling an appraisal?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s often a good idea to take care of any health and safety <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-improve-appraisal-value.htm">repairs before an appraisal</a> to make sure the mortgage can move to underwriting without having to pay for another appraisal. Replace any broken glass, fix uneven or sloping floors, ensure all steps have appropriate handrails, and have a professional get rid of mold, asbestos, and lead paint. Beyond these repairs, you can update appliances or fixtures and focus on aesthetic improvements like new paint to add the most value before scheduling an appraisal.</p></div>

Q: Does having asbestos siding affect my home’s resale value?

• <div><p>If you are trying to sell a home with asbestos siding, most jurisdictions force you to disclose this in official documentation about the home. Some potential buyers may not want to purchase a home with asbestos siding, which could negatively affect their health if the siding becomes disturbed. However, as long as the siding is in good condition, some buyers may not see it as a disadvantage. You could take on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-replace-asbestos-siding.htm">cost to replace asbestos siding</a> if you have concerns over this material affecting your home&rsquo;s resale value.</p></div>

Q: What is the usual duration for completing an appraisal and receiving the report?

• <div><p>Appraisals typically take 2-3 hours on-site, with reports delivered in 2-5 business days.</p></div>

The quote was about the same as another company, but the other company would charge extra for each piece of plywood that needed to be replaced and other things. It was nice to know what we would pay. The price quoted is what we paid. There were windows in one room that needed to be replaced....

We had a very negative experience with Matt Fratzel, and his one and only plumber, Kurt, that he sent to do some of the work. Matt told us his employee was "slow, but good". One problem we had was that not only was he slow, he also did not repair things correctly the first time. We had multiple...

Perfectly. They also installed gauges that work, and fixed an electrical problem that was plaguing the car for years. I will be returning for suspension work. These people are a real find. Not cheap but reasonable for what they do. Quick and professional. I can't say enough about Tallant's.
