With over 20 years of industry experience, I value honesty and integrity, and stand behind our work. I look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction! I do charge a 75-dollar trip fee to come perform the appraisal.

"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."

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.
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.
