I have been in real estate arena since 2001, beginning my real estate journey in mortgages. I also helped my husband with his construction company; from designing the floor plans to picking out colors and finishes. Alongside all of that, we also fixed and flipped multiple homes and worked with and helped several investors to do the same. I love lending a helping hand to people searching for the home they can love and grow in. My love for the industry is about selling the home, and sharing the experience. The look on a new friends face when I can hand them the keys to their new life, is priceless to me. I have a wide breath of experience in order to help my clients achieve whatever goal they set out for. I can help an investor who wants to flip the perfect fixer-upper, a dreamer who want's to build an exotic and beautiful home, and or a client who wants only the simple straw-bale home life. Call me and I will take great care of you, I am here to help. My specialties: Buyers, Sellers, First Time Home Buyer, Investment Property, Foreclosure, Relocation, Real Estate, Springfield Homes, Horse Property, Land, Commercial Property, Acreage Homes, Cash Buyer, Fast Closing, As is, and Rehab. I work in: Ozark, Willard, Nixa, Rogersville, and surrounding areas

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Yes, in many cases, gazebos can increase your property value—as long as they’re in good condition. From a buyer’s perspective, the most appealing gazebos are large, well-designed, and built with high-quality materials. Having extra features—like built-in seating or electrical outlets—will also impress some buyers. Small, flimsy, or run-down gazebos won’t be as attractive.

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.

It’s often a good idea to take care of any health and safety repairs before an appraisal to make sure the mortgage can move to underwriting without having to pay for another appraisal. Replace any broken glass, fix uneven or sloping floors, ensure all steps have appropriate handrails, and have a professional get rid of mold, asbestos, and lead paint. Beyond these repairs, you can update appliances or fixtures and focus on aesthetic improvements like new paint to add the most value before scheduling an appraisal.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

If the sales agreement has a clause that allows the seller to renegotiate based on the appraised value, then they might be able to back out if the appraisal comes in higher than your offer price. If the agreement doesn’t have that language, then the seller has no legal recourse to back out. They could hold a higher offer as a backup and move onto that one if yours falls through for any reason, but once the agreement is signed, the seller is locked into that purchase price unless there’s a clause stating they can renegotiate.
