Q: Why should I hire a professional for a real estate appraisal?

• <div><p>Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.</p></div>

Q: Does a pergola add value to property?

• <div><p>Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they&rsquo;re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.</p></div>

Q: Do basement bedrooms count on an appraisal?

• <div><p>Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they&rsquo;re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn&rsquo;t a legal living space won&rsquo;t affect your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: Will converting a carport into a garage add value to your home?

• <div><p>An addition like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">garage can increase your home value</a> significantly, but it&rsquo;s also quite expensive to convert a carport into a garage. In some cases, you may see just a small boost to home value. With that being said, a carport conversion can add value to your experience as a homeowner long before you sell. Garages are useful for security reasons and storing vehicles, plus they can serve as a convenient place for storage and as workspaces or even living spaces. </p></div>

Q: How does a community well affect my mortgage or insurance?

• <div><p>The age of the well, installation methods, and maintenance logs can affect your home insurance premiums and any potential future claim. Mortgage companies can request proof of water quality before they approve the loan. Review all well information, including the Shared Well Agreement, before you make an offer to purchase.</p></div>

HomeAvenue is the leader in flat-fee real estate home sales. Since 1989, our proven system has helped over 20,000 homeowners sell their homes and save thousands of dollars in unnecessary commissions. Our revolutionary approach is backed by professional tools, expert advice and years of experience.

"I had a terrible experience working with the owner Greg Lawrence. I chose the $3,500 full service flat fee representation and felt that I basically paid for an MLS listing which is thousands less. Greg was difficult to get in touch with, he showed little motivation to sell our home as his commission is guaranteed as long as you sell the house within the next year (using him or someone else), he didn't show up for our closing nor did he even notify us, he showed minimal knowledge after 30 years of experience as we appeared to know the market better than he did, we had to continuously ask for showing feedback and follow through, he mistakenly took the wrong counter offer back to a potential buyer, and he provided nothing more than a useful app that scheduled listings for us. I'd never recommend him to anyone or use him ever again. Go with a different fee for service company, there are plenty out there that are much better."
