"We worked with Tom at Edge Home Finance after our first lender gave us some difficulty with the appraisal. Tom coordinated a new appraisal and had the loan ready to close in record time. There weren't any snags in the underwriting process and communication was fast and accurate."

"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

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

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.

Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.

While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.

Installing a flagpole can improve your home’s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You’ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will trimming trees away from the new lawn addition.
