"The company followed up on the appointment and was on-time for the appraisal. The report was delivered in a matter of days. I noticed a deficiency in the initial appraisal. I reached out to the appraiser, and the document was corrected and updated within 24 hours. Because of his excellent customer service, I rehired him to appraise another property."

"I hired Jeffrey to give me an appraisal after I perform the number of upgrades on my home. Jeffrey was realistic, informative and very fair in his appraisal. I appreciated his willingness to walk me through the appraisal and to give me a true sense of the value of the property. I especially appreciated that he was conservative and fair. I'm certain this appraisal will stand the scrutiny of USDA and any Federal Bank. Sometimes appraisers work for the bank. I felt Jeffrey was protective of my interest. Jeffrey gave me confidence in me potential investment."

"BJ Matson is the best real estate agent around in our opinion. Our family has used him twice in the last few years, once for selling a home and later for buying a home. He has been outstanding in looking out for our interests, attending to detail, and being approachable when we had a question. He has helped us above and beyond what we expected from a realtor, such as changing his personal schedule to accommodate the need to view a home, researching questions we had about a property and giving us help in negotiations. He knew the "angles" to help us position ourselves to get the best real estate deal possible. ​His goal was to make sure we were happy with our purchase. ​He made the purchase of our dream house possible. Thanks, BJ!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

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. 

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

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.

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.
