"Our appraiser did a really good job. I was seeking to contest my assessed property value and it did get lowered. But my pro explained why the county assessed value was not as inflated as I thought. My appraiser was on time, came in at the quoted price, and delivered my appraisal within 48 hours."

"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"

"Chris scheduled a time about a week and half out that worked for me to put down the termite treatment. He then called a few days later to let me know he was going to come and separately treat the property for ants ahead of the termite treatment. This was at no cost above the quoted price just for termites. He was rained out on the Thursday scheduled for termite treatment but was able to work around my schedule and come out the very next Saturday morning instead."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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 short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.
