"Tom and Jake are very responsive to text, calls, and emails.  I was informed through the whole financing/underwriting/appraisal process of buying a home.  We closed without much of an issue and am very glad my realtor suggested Home Edge Finance."

"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

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

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.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.
