"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

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.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report
