"It was advertised as costing $50 for a service worth over $600 to give us written report of what we would need to ready our house for sale/Listing. After not hearing from the broker for over a month, we finally called him and made an appointment. He came out, quickly took a tour of the house, gave us some good advice, and then handed us a pre-printed report of "comparable" sales in the area. The front cover was supposed to be a photo of our location, but it showed the middle of a field about 1/2 mile away. The description of the house was entirely incorrect, and the comparisons were not of any house similar to ours. In addition, the report was printed out without ever having seen our house, so it was information which could be gleaned off the internet instead of any personalized report. The realtor's advice, although valuable, was what any realtor could have done after a tour of the house. Worth over $600? I don't think so! The $50 we paid was about equal to the time, travel and work of the realtor for actual services provided."

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.

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.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room).
