"As a first time home buyer, I had no experience or knowledge as to purchasing a home. Kenny Babin was able to answer any question that I had. He showed different types of properties and made sure that I was able to make a decision using all the information available. Kenny Babin was courteous, professional and patient with my questions. I will definitely be calling him, should I ever need a realtor again!"

"When my wife and I were ready to choose a realtor to represent us in the purchase of a home, we contacted the Dave Ramsay organization for a list of their "endorsed local providers".  We were contacted immediately by Mr. Leo Desselle of Pennant Real Estate. After speaking to Leo and two other highly referred local realtors, we both felt very good about proceeding with Pennant Realty. We began the process in September, and closed on New Years Eve. Throughout the entire process, Leo was available, informative, proactive, knowledgeable, pleasant and patient. We could not be more pleased that we had the good fortune to go through this process with a professional as competent and kind as Mr. Desselle and Pennant Real Estate.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.
