"I'm pretty new to the home buy process, but Ryan's superb professionalism and personable character kept me informed with the entire process and always responded to my questions in an utmost professional manner. What I thought would be a stressful experience was actually made into a fun experience for me. There's three things that I want to give him kudos for; things that make him truly unique compared to the other Maryland agents out there. First, he's a native to the area -- so he has long standing knowledge about the neighborhoods (growth prospects, what's-happenings, schools, entertainment, etc). So if you give him an idea of what you're looking for, he'll definitely make some solid picks for you. Second, he's an awesome negotiator. The home he helped me buy is in a huge seller's market (homes go on contract in 1-3 days). But somehow, Ryan still managed to get me a discount from the seller's asking price, get a great seller concession, and get some high-dollar appliances replaced/repaired. And thirdly, Ryan is simply a great person to work with. In addition to the great professionalism, he's very personable which made the home-buying experience less of a chore and actually fun."

"My wife had actually found David on a home she purchased just before we started dating a few years back. I can be a bit of a skeptic and tend to do much more thorough research on things so I wasn't sure he would be the right agent for us.
I looked around, talked with other agents, even went on a few home tours with a couple, but none of them could compare to David's professionalism, expertise, personality, and communication. 
Every step of the way David was letting us know what to expect, how we should handle things, what we should be looking for, etc. He always kept line of communication open with us and was always quick to reply to any communication attempts. 
I admit that I am difficult to please when it comes to business relationships, I expect a high level of service just like I provide to my own clients. However, David met our expectations in every possible way.
It's not often I actually write reviews but David's service was that good...others deserve the level of service he provides and will not be let down.

"My husband and I expressed an interest in a particular neighborhood that is often in high demand to Mary Schaner, knowing that it may be quite some time before a house became available. Mary kept us in mind and each time there was a listing, she called us to let us take a look. Her patience was? appreciated and finally, after a lot of thought, we decided to purchase a house Mary found for us. She went above and beyond, working with us so that we could get what we felt was a fair purchase price, even convincing the seller to allow our contingency. It was a competitive situation, but Mary worked with us diligently. After a long couple of months waiting for our house to sell, we finally settled on the house and neighborhood we had been dreaming about. I'm convinced that none of this would have happened if Mary hadn't taken the time to keep in touch with us, staying on top of the market in our neighborhood of choice. I highly recommend Mary Schaner - a more friendly, conscientious and driven agent can't be found."

"I recently hired the Jackson Appraisal Group to help me reduce my property tax bill and I couldn't be happier with the results. The appraiser was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the process. From the initial consultation, Christian Jackson listened carefully to my concerns and explained the process in a way that was easy to understand. They also provided valuable insights into the local real estate market and helped me understand how my property fit into that market. As the appraisal process moved forward, Christian was always prompt in responding to my questions and requests for updates. He provided thorough and detailed reports that clearly explained the value of my property and how it was determined. Ultimately, the appraisal helped me successfully appeal my property tax bill and resulted in a significant reduction in the amount I owed. I would highly recommend Jackson Appraisal Group to anyone looking to reduce their property tax bill or simply get a better understanding of the value of their property."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.

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.

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.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000
