"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."

"Steve is very efficient and careful of the owner's property (and in my case, an escape-artist cat).  He hauled away the landscape debris first, then returned for the junk in a second load.  Altogether it was a 4 1/2 hour job for him.  His final fee was a good deal less than what he had originally quoted me.  A nice and appreciated surprise."

"Jeffrey Kempner did an appraisal for my husband and me several years ago for a beautiful home in Chestnut Hill,, MA 02467. He was very knowledgeable in his chosen field, he was punctual in meeting with us and advised us on the pro's and con's of said property. The asking price was 3.2 and he appraised it as 2.2 and that was quite helpful in the process of identifying the overpricing of this property. But in the ed we decided to build a house for ourselves...but when in the near future, we shall definitely use him to appraise our current home when we decide to sell. Sheila K."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

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.

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. 

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.
