"We chose Tom Ahles because of our unusual and unique circumstance as a business owner. Our financing process required a non-traditional analysis of how we operate our finances. Tom held our hand in coaching us through the process, over explained every question we had, and did so in an informative manner. We had a time crunch, Tom managed it, we had unique accounts, yet Tom was capable of making it work. I appreciate Tom, and you will feel proud when you contract his team for your mortgage service, they're all professional - timely - and approachable."

"We have been working with Chris for a little over four years. As a rental property manager he's phenomenal: He understands how important it is to keep both our tenants and ourselves happy and informed. No matter what day it is, whether it's a Sunday or a holiday, Chris will promptly respond to requests from either tenants or owners. His crew is also great at responding on issues with our tenants. He will not bother you with little stuff, he'll just get things done... But if he believes you need to be aware of a major repair or replacement, he'll request approval from you. His judgement on these kind of decisions has been flawless. He's fully earned our complete trust in him. While we've only had him as our property manager, we recommended him to my dad and I witnessed his unbelievable skills as a real estate agent. He promised my dad his house would sell on a certain timeframe and he delivered. He also helped my dad negotiate on his new home and now manages my dad's rental too. I hear many compliments coming from my dad all the time, the compliments that represent what we already knew about him: proactive, transparent, efficient, no-nonsense, honest, respectful and friendly. We are very lucky to have Chris as our property manager. You can rest assured he'll always be on top of things and keep you and your tenants happ"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

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.

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room).
