Q: Can the architect of my house help me determine when it was built?

• <div><p>Consulting the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">architect</a> of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down&mdash;especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it&rsquo;s best to rely on local government records. </p></div>

Q: Does mold affect appraisal?

• <div><p>Mold can greatly impact your home's appraisal and lower your selling price if your home's on the market. Home appraisers take mold into account when figuring out a property's overall value. Mold will lower your home's price because it poses a health risk to household members and can compromise the structural integrity of the house. Mold will require remediation, which in extreme cases can be costly, so that is factored into your home's appraisal as well.</p></div>

Q: Is market value usually higher than appraised value?

• <div><p>The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a &ldquo;seller&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there&rsquo;s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a &ldquo;buyer&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a home inspection and home appraisal?

• <div><p>The main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-included-home-inspection-report.htm">purpose of a home inspection is</a> to assess the overall condition of a home. It looks at major systems, like electrical and plumbing, and considers the long-term safety of the home. In contrast, a home appraisal sets out to estimate a home&rsquo;s fair market value, often for lending purposes. At about $350, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-home-appraisal-cost.htm">home appraisal costs</a> about the same as an average home inspection. </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>

Not counting this one, I've bought 5 homes or condos over the years. I've never had a real estate agent do so much at his own expense to please both the buyer (me) and the seller. He corrected several "issues" that were noted on the home inspection on his own and out of his own pocket. He didn't...

Every time the wind would blow or we would get a little rain, the satellite would go out. They tell you that your price is going to be one thing and it ends up being a big balloon. They don't have good quality T.V. The technicians that come out are real good.

I liked everything about them. He does house remodeling and does real good work. The price is kind of high. He is not sure about how much he charges, but he does really good work. They are the best. They clean up their mess everyday. They are not the cheap guys in town.
