"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

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.

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

The average cost for a home or property appraisal is about $355, with prices typically ranging from $250 to $500. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including the property's size, age, location, and how it compares to other homes in the area. Appraisals for larger, older, or non-conforming properties often cost more. While a single-family home appraisal usually costs between $300 and $400, appraising a multi-family home can range from $500 to $1,000 due to its increased size and complexity.
