"Do yourself a favor, and if you need an agent, select Cindy. When Cindy heard I was trying to sell the out of state property of my deceased Dad, she stepped into the picture- from a distance- to touch base with me throughout the process. This is the consummate professional with a fabulous sense of humor as well. Just as an unsolicited advisor she volunteered more useful strategies and information than my NY realtor. She is a powerful professional to have advising you."

"The service worked out really well. There was an article in the Washington Post yesterday about home inspector and what they should be doing, he did exactly what was outlined in the article. It took about three hours, we discussed what the issues were in the house and if I wanted to rent whether or not it would be worth doing that. He was giving me estimates of things that needs to be fixed, repaired and what it would cost. When he finished, he emailed me a very detailed report with pictures and everything."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

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.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

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.
