phi·los·o·phy: any personal belief about how to live or how to deal with a situation. A belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative. a.) the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group b): calmness of temper and judgment befitting a professional. My philosophy serves to define who I am. It is what I believe to be true and the underlying foundation of my character and the core values that have established my standard of excellence as a person and real-estate professional. I needn’t feel to claim or substantiate that I am honest, forthright and trusting; I am. Instead, I want to be judged by my actions and the level of service and satisfaction that I provide, rather than what I say. It is to that point that I have grown thru experience and stand firm in what I believe.

An Exclusive Buyer Agent acts solely on behalf of the Buyer. They work for an office that does not take listings so they never have anything to "sell" you, but instead offer their specialized service, knowledge, and expertise in assisting home buyers. An Exclusive Buyer Agents time is not spent on listings appointments and servicing listings, but focused entirely of finding and showing property. An Exclusive Buyer Agent will take the time to expose a client to thirty, forty or more listings and allow you to decide. An EBA (Exclusive Buyer Agent) cannot "double dip" the commission because an EBA carries no listings and is not tempted to "steer" a client toward more profitable listings. When you call the listing agent, you are the customer, and the seller is the client. That means the listing agent has what is called a "fiduciary responsibility" to behave in the sellers best interest. When you work with an EBA you are the Client, and I work in your best interest.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn’t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer.

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.
