He took us through several houses over the course of 3 months, always responding quickly to requests to see properties, supplying details regarding the properties, sharing his knowledge of neighborhoods, and, most endearingly, entertaining our 4 year old with countless games of hide and seek so that we could discuss what we were seeing. He took the time to answer every question that we had, listened to our concerns, brought a contractor to a showing (in a snow storm) so that we could discuss the possibility of an addition, and was endlessly patient as our criteria changed as we viewed more properties. When we finally found our home, he recommended excellent financial services, walked us through the entire process, and maintained a wonderful sense of humor. We would reccommend him, without reservation, to anyone looking for a home. And we would especially recommend him to families with small children; instead of seeing our rather energetic son as a nusiance, Gary made him feel so appreciated that he is still asking when he will get to see "his good buddy, Mr. Gary" again.

Pleasant from first contact. Easy appraisal, quick completion. Slight blemish was remedied quickly with a redo and great attitude. Will use again.
Tried to sign up for annual service last year but it was a nightmare & hours on the phone & could not get anyone from York TruGreen to visit & evaluate my lawn or call to discuss with me by phone or email. Could only talk to & sign up w/ out of state call center so I ended up cancelling...
I've used and been disappointed by several contractors over the last 10 years. Richard is the best one I've ever hired. He shows up when he says he is going to, is very knowledgeable, does quality work, and cleans up after himself. I've used him on several projects for my own home and my...

We were very pleased with Dan's work and will hire him again when we need tree work to be done on our property!
Mr. Meehan rescued my lawn after the home builder left my property and "so called seeding" in a mess of weeds and poor quality grass. I now have a nice lawn because of the efforts of Meehan Turf Care.

My primary business is consulting on buildings that have construction defects that allow moisture intrusion, rot, mold, etc. I also work with builders on new buildings to assist in the sequencing and selection of products to prevent moisture intrusion, promote long-term building performance, ie., concrete curing, roof flashing, window and door installation, moisture barriers, basement waterproofing, etc.

FAQs for property appraisal projects in Libertytown, MD
An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
