"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"The first time I contacted BJ was online through his website and I got an immediate response.  He referred me to a loan officer for pre-approval and we were looking at homes the same week.  5 years later and he's still on top of his game.  This knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent is dedicated, courteous, very patient, and great to work with.  He keeps the momentum going with everyone he contacts, does follow-ups, and always keeps me up-to-date with what is going on.  I would have to say that the highlight of my experience was me and BJ working to get an offer in the same day that the property was listed...which as it turned out got accepted the very next day.  Thanks to all of his hard work and effort, I made it through settlement smoothly and my mortgage payment is A LOT less than what my rent was (which would have gone up $150 had I renewed...um, no thanks).  So all-in-all I am happy with my purchase and I am glad to have had BJ as my realtor.  If I ever decide to sell my home, I will definitely be back in touch with him.

"I found the company on Angie’s List and it seemed like a good company. He was good. He was very fair, honest, and told me I did not have a problem; he did not take advantage of my worries. He seemed very professional and was very informative in telling me what I should do and look for in the future if I ever had any concerns. It was safe to stay at home when he did it; he was looking in a socket kind of thing where the air conditioning duct goes through. He did that and also tested the air. It was fine; it was not invasive at all. I thought he did a thorough check and I also thought the price was very reasonable. He said exactly when he said he would come and it was not a long delay from between the phone call and the appointments."

Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, an outdoor kitchen can increase your home's value, as outdoor living areas are increasingly popular among potential homebuyers. The return on investment (ROI) can vary significantly, with estimates ranging from 50% to as high as 200%. In many cases, homeowners can expect to at least break even on the project. The final ROI depends on several factors, including the kitchen's size, design, and quality, the materials used, and whether it was professionally installed. Other considerations that impact value are your home's location, how well the kitchen is maintained, and how soon you sell after the remodel. However, be mindful that an outdoor kitchen that takes up a large portion of your usable yard space could be seen as a drawback by some buyers.

Yes, an elevated deck can increase a home's resale value. Homeowners can expect a 65% return on investment from the cost of a second-story deck installation. For example, if you spend $5,000 to install a second-story deck, that deck will add $3,250 to the value of your home.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

Yes, in many cases, a stamped concrete patio can increase your property's value. It is an affordable way to add elegance and utility to your backyard, which many prospective buyers will appreciate and may be willing to pay a premium for. Stamped concrete is highly durable; when installed by a professional, it can last for 40 years or more with proper care, and it is also relatively easy and affordable to repair. While a permanent patio may raise your property taxes, the added value and buyer interest often make it a worthwhile investment.

If you are considering buying a home with a cesspool, you will need to weigh the potential costs and hassles. Your primary decision will be whether to maintain the existing system or replace it. Maintaining a cesspool involves ongoing expenses for services like aeration, pumping, and cleaning. Alternatively, you could dismantle the system and replace it with a modern septic tank or connect to a public sewage line, which involves significant upfront costs. It is also crucial to check local and state regulations, as some jurisdictions require that cesspools be replaced before a home can be sold. Ultimately, you must decide for yourself if the financial investment and effort are worth it for the property in question.
