"David was responsive and answered my questions in detail. Great experience working with them. Just wanted a third party opinion on a property before selling, which is exactly what I received. Miranda (person who came to property) was communicative and nice to work with."

"Ken was prompt in both his reply and getting to the job on time. I appreciate him coming out in this coronavirus era. I think his evaluation was right on as I had a couple of my realtor friends give me real estate appraisals. I did check him out before agreeing to hire him and I don't understand some of the criticism he received. I expect that owners don't like when an appraisal comes in much lower than their estimation of worth so they take it out on the appraisor."

"It was above all my expectations. The overall process took about 4 hours onsite for an 1100 sq ft home. He was able to look over everything, explain what would be of concern and what he was looking for, and what he determined to be present. As a first time homebuyer, he made me feel confident in my decision but gave me a realistic overview of what issues may present themselves ahead.Beyond that, the report that was given was extensive, including detailed pictures and explanations. Even my real estate agent was impressed."

"I found her through word of mouth. A friend of mine had used her. I am sure there was a fee but I don't know how much. She is very aggressive. When my friend referred me to her he told me that she doesn't have too much time. I called her and within a few days she had a list of houses that I can send my criteria to. Even though I had a surgery three days later I was there looking for a house. When I wanted to compromise and take something that wasn't that good for me, she stood her ground and said the neighborhood was not good for me. She said we would find something better. When we got this house the people were angry because we were not willing to pay what they would have wanted us to pay for and she stood her ground. She is very aggressive. I talked to another real estate person and it took that lady forever. She took over a week to get back to me.  With Monique she makes you feel that you are the only client she's got. She will get you the result in a very short time.  She also specializes in short sales and she is working with my husband right now on his house. She works with some company that helps you do a short sale instead of going into foreclosure. She helps with that too.  She is a Christian and she would pray with you if you need to.  She used to pray with me before we went searching for our house. She and the seller’s realtor went in parts with the price. I have already referred her to two people. She is awesome in her job.  She made sure I got the right house. She told me which a nice home was and which wasn't a good neighborhood. She made sure I didn't compromise and said we would keep looking and find a good one. "

Real Estate Agents FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

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. 

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.

Yes, siding orientation can affect a home’s resale value, but in what way and by how much really depends on the prospective buyer. For instance, some buyers prefer the more modern appearance that vertical siding offers, so having it can increase your home’s value in their eyes. However, other buyers prefer the classic, more common appearance of horizontal siding, so having vertical siding can decrease your home’s value in their eyes. 

Appraisals do not come with warranties but are considered accurate at the time of assessment. Market changes can affect values.
