"I had great service! The agent who did the faucets was very polite, and professional. He did a great job, our faucets are nice and sturdy. On the washing machine issue, the agents that arrived were also polite and professional. The agent said that the machine needed to be replaced. Fortunately, the coverage I had allowed me to be approved to purchase a new one! I guess I made the right (CHOICE HWS)"

"We are selling our home and wanted a basic inspection to be sure that items that needed repair were identified and repaired prior to putting the house on the market. Mr. Glitz did a thorough job in the inspection and documentation and identified areas which should be fixed immediately as well as maintenance items that should be done. He was prompt and informative."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Stylish drop tiles, such as wood or metal, could add value to your home if the drop ceiling hides imperfections on an old surface. However, traditional fiberboard and plastic drop ceilings can have the opposite effect, especially if new prospective buyers do not like that aesthetic. Savvy buyers may also know that drop ceilings are a go-to ceiling option in areas where leaks are an issue, given the easy access to the area above the ceiling and the ease of replacing a single tile. This could dissuade a buyer from purchasing your home.

Just as a kitchen remodel can increase home value, so can a new kitchen island. A kitchen island provides extra counter space, increased eye candy, and improved functionality that will likely impress prospective home buyers. You can expect an ROI of about 60% to 80% of the cost of your kitchen island installation, though this depends on the overall design of the fixture. 

In most cases, no, a seller cannot negotiate after an appraisal if they signed an offer agreement. The only exception would be if there was a contingency in the offer that stated that the offer acceptance was contingent on the appraisal amount. If that’s the case, the seller can negotiate a higher sale price to match the appraised amount. If the appraised amount comes in below the sale price, both sides have to agree to negotiate, but there may be no other option since the buyer’s lender might not approve the higher amount.

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.

You may be able to negotiate an as-is purchase, but many sellers who list their homes as-is aren’t willing to lower their asking price since they’ve already accounted for the price of repairs. Homes are often listed as-is for a quick sale, so there’s a chance a seller may negotiate in order to make the sale—it never hurts to ask.
