"Andy Lockwood is a true craftsman who helped unlock the beauty of my white oak hardwood which has not been touched for 58 years. Communication was smooth mostly by email and a few phone calls. I was fortunate in that Andy had an opening over the Christmas holidays. I found Andy to be extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, hard working and reliable. He went above and beyond by making a wood sample with several stain colors my wife and daughter could choose from, vacuuming my vents out, and sanding down my shoe moulding. He accomplished the work over a weeks time. What impressed me most was how hard the work is. The equipment was heavy and awkward. Andy had all the necessary tools. The final price was quite reasonable given all the work involved."

"Todd Aldrich from Allstate Apprairsers contacted me within minutes, and we set an appt. He arrived on time and spent 2 hours touring our property and residence. He took a lot of photos and already knew our tax apr. He was very thorough, measuring every room. He found 4 comparable homes in our area. It took one week to receive his report, as agreed. We are very pleased with his findings, and it has helped us set a price on our home, which we intend to sell. He was very professional, we would highly recommend his service, if you should require an appraisal. Mike & Dawn B."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

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.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.
