"

I am very disappointed with the overall service I received from Blue Valley Pest Control. I called Chris (the owner) because I had noticed that insects were putting holes in our front doorframe. Chris came over and inspected our property and took care of the run-of-the-mill insects but said that he was unsure what was causing the holes in our doorframe. He said that his best guess was that they were carpenter ants and that he would treat them as such. I was a little bit surprised by the fact that he was unable to identify the cause of the damage when he claims to have over 30 years of experience. Nonetheless, I had him treat for the carpenter ants.

Later that day, I contacted Chris again to let him know that I was fortunate enough to witness the insect going back into one of the holes and that I took a couple pictures of it. He asked me to send him the pictures so he could properly identify it and so we could take the proper course of action. However, after sending him the pictures, I never heard back from him. I have tried calling him, leaving him a couple voicemails, and even sent him an email (all of which were ignored). I was quite surprised because Chris has a great personality and seemed very friendly. As a result, I am now forced to contact another pest control company to take care of what I expected Blue Valley Pest Control to do in the first place.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
