"Alan Gitz was extremely helpful, friendly, knowlegable and professional. Not to mention very patient with us. We were visiting from another state looking for a house to call our home. After a month and multiple houses we found one we really like. He worked with us through the whole process via phone and email for 2 more months. When we returned we just had to meet up and sign. He got the job done and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Alan and Keaty Real Estate."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

While a single shelf here and there doesn’t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home’s value under the right circumstances. Not every built-in bookcase works in your favor here—those built from high-quality materials tend to provide a better ROI. If you’re looking for your bookcase to work for your home’s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.
