"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."

"Mr. Murphy arrived promptly and went through the house with a "fine tooth comb"! He obviously has tremedous knowledge and carries all the tools necessary to investigate every corner of the residence, from the attic to the crawl space. We were able to proceed with the purchase of our home knowing there were only a few very minor issues to deal with. We were also very impressed with his appraisal value for our home. It came within dollars of the bank's appraisal. Mr. Murphy is knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. We are most pleased with his service.

"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

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. 

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. 

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
