"Terrific service. Responded promptly. Very forthright, honest and down to earth. Did the appraisal, and produced a great and thorough report in just two days. I would hire them again for anything and everything I do in real estate. Can't recommend them highly enough."

"Did what was requested in a timely manner. No hassles which is exactly what a person needs when dealing with the loss of a spouse. This was specific for an estate appraisal. Not an appraisal to buy real estate. This is for estate tax purposes which is different. Thank you."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had the pleasure of working with Keith Shaplin, the owner of Majestic Appraisals, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Keith demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets him apart. First and foremost, scheduling with Keith was a breeze. He was incredibly easy to reach and accommodated my schedule with ease, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. But beyond just being easy to schedule, Keith's friendly and personable demeanor immediately put me at ease. He took the time to understand my needs and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the appraisal process. When it comes to professionalism, Keith is a consummate pro. His work is not only timely but also incredibly fast and efficient, delivering results in a timely manner. And let's talk about value â Keith's services are very reasonably priced, offering top-notch quality without breaking the bank. The appraisal reports provided by Keith were exceptionally well-written, clear, and comprehensive. I was impressed by the professional finished product, complete with clear, high-definition photos that provided valuable insights into the property in question. What truly sets Keith apart, though, is his dedication to customer service. Even after the appraisal was complete, he remained available for any questions or concerns I had, demonstrating a level of commitment that goes above and beyond. In summary, working with Keith Shaplin and Majestic Appraisals was a five-star experience in every sense of the word. If you're in need of an appraiser who is not only highly skilled but also friendly, efficient, and dedicated to customer satisfaction, look no further than Keith. Highly recommended!"

"Ryan is an excellent agent! He was poised, honest and extremely helpful throughout both the buying and selling process. His depth of experience was an asset to us in nearly every decision-making situation that we faced. He also went above and beyond for us during an extremely challenging situation as our house went on the market the day of the COVID-19 shutdown. I don't think our experience could have gone any more smoothly."

"Cindy Beline was my real estate agent when I purchased my condo, and I recently relied on Cindy again when I decided to upgrade from a condo to a house. Cindy showed me and my husband multiple homes and had valuable insights on "money pit" issues in some of the contenders. When we ultimately found our dream home through her MLS search tool, Cindy worked closely with us to develop our offer, which was complicated by the fact that it was contingent on the sale of my condo. Despite this drawback, the sellers accepted our offer after a few rounds of negotiation, on which Cindy advised. The whole process moved much more quickly than I had expected, and Cindy was critical in helping me to identify a handful of fixes/upgrades to my condo that made a difference when we put it on the market (in only three weeks!). The professional brochure that Cindy put together also helped a great deal. We received an all cash offer for asking price on the day of our first open house, which Cindy expertly conducted. Thereafter, Cindy was extremely helpful with the house inspection, addressing HICRA items (at both properties), and other issues. With her help, we achieved a simultaneous close of the sale of my condo and purchase of my new house in only two months from the day that we ratified the contingent contract on the house. A land speed record! I would definitely use Cindy again (although I hope to never move again!), and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a real go-getter real estate agent. She's the best!"

"Being new in town my first two attempts at hiring electricians were unsuccessful. I learned the hard way that straight 5 star reviews doesn t always mean quality sevice. This time I carefully read the customer reviews and experiences and as result hired as Jaswal Corporation. I m glad I did as scheduling was very easy. Brandon, the electrician, arrived right on schedule. He was polite and professional answering my many questions as he quickly and efficiently installed seven light fixtures and completed other electrical work throughout my home. Based on my experience I highly recommend Jaswal Corporation. I m thankful I found an efficient and trustworthy electrical contractor to service my home s electrical needs!"

"Brian and his team were really impressive. From start to finish, he put our minds at ease and made the process stress-free. He's an expert at his craft, and knew exactly how to price our home. The preparation, listing, showing, and sale were all seamless. We were lucky to have found Brian as our real estate agent, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best."

I am a wholesale mortgage broker who has the opportunity to work with many different real estate agents on many different transactions.  Because of that we have a pretty good view of the interactions between home buyers and their real estate agent.  I recently had the opportunity to work with BJ Matson who was the seller?s real estate agent for one of our clients.  From the first contact to the settlement table BJ consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, utmost concern for the customer?s interest and a great sense of urgency that greatly contributed to a smooth and successful transaction.  The feedback from the customer confirmed everything that we were seeing.  It is my pleasure to offer my highest recommendation for BJ to anybody who is buying or selling a home in Maryland.

Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.

Adding a detached garage can increase the home's value by a healthy amount, provided it's well-constructed, permitted, and inspected. The return on investment for a detached garage depends on the structure's size and function, as well as its quality. On average, consumers who add a detached garage can expect their home's value to increase by between $12,000 and $36,000. 

From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. 

A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.

Yes, gas fireplaces can increase your home's value by as much as 12%. They are a sought-after feature because they burn cleaner, provide more warmth, and are more convenient than wood-burning fireplaces. Modern gas inserts can also provide the traditional aesthetic appeal that buyers like. To ensure the highest return on investment, perform regular maintenance and schedule annual professional inspections.

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.
