Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). </p></div>

Do built-in bookcases add value?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Do home appraisers look at windows?

• <div><p>Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They&rsquo;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.</p></div>

If you&rsquo;re looking for your bookcase to work for your home&rsquo;s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood. </p></div>

Q: How do appraisals benefit property buyers and sellers?

• <div><p>They provide objective, third-party valuation, guiding fair sales or purchase prices.</p></div>

Q: Is hiring a real estate agent worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they&rsquo;ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.</p></div>
