"Very positive experience working with Cullen Real Estate and Appraisal. They were able to accommodate my schedule for the property inspection and communicated frequently. Tom, the lead appraiser, was knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and able to answer all of my questions. The best part is that we received a complete, well-researched report within just a couple of business days...super fast turnaround! I would certainly recommend Cullen to anyone looking for a truly professional company to appraise their property."

"Yes, Eric answered our inquiry quickly. He was easy to talk with and helped ease the stress of not knowing what to set for a fair selling price. Eric was also able to show up in person to our property quickly and was obviously very familiar with our neighborhood. Our appraisal was completed on time. He included appropriate comparative listings. We are happy with his projected range of value for our property. We would recommend his services to anyone. Well done Eric!"

"Below average attention to detail. LOTS of splatter on floors and baseboards that we're still trying to clean. Although I could not have painted faster, I would;d have painted much better doing it myself."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

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. 

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

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 cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
