"Did what was requested in a timely manner. No hassles which is exactly what a person needs when dealing with the loss of a spouse. This was specific for an estate appraisal. Not an appraisal to buy real estate. This is for estate tax purposes which is different. Thank you."

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mike. He is extremely knowledgeable and was a consummate professional during the entire buying process. If I didn't already love the house I'm in I would jump at the chance to work with Mike again. I couldn't have asked for a better agent to represent me and my needs. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone in the market trying to buy or sell a home.

"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"

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.

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.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

Termite damage isn’t always a deal breaker when buying a house, but don’t dismiss it. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional termite inspection to understand the extent of the damage, type of termite, state of repairs, and whether the infestation is gone.

If the termites are gone and the current owners repaired the damage, you might want to proceed. You may even be able to use the damage as a bargaining point. However, don’t forget that home insurance policies often don’t cover termite treatment or repairs and active infestations are tricky to shift.
