Customers say: Quick response

"Tracy Simpson was very professional throughout the process and the appraisal was thorough and completed in a timely manner. I used the appraisal along with comps from my realtor to confirm my asking price. Although the market is crazy right now, her assessment helped me determine the optimal price to maximize exposure. I had 32 showings and 7 offers within the first 3 days."

"David Ausborn left a message on my telephone answering machine on Sunday. He was courteous, and changed the time of his appointment from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM without any fuss. He answered all of my questions, and his meticulous APPRAISAL Report is going to save me $2,700 when I use it to appeal my Johnston County Property tax evaluation."

"Larry Tollen is the best realtor in the Triangle area, period. We hired Larry to sell our house in Chapel Hill after a bad experience with another realtor. Here's what Larry will do for you: 1. Set a reasonable price for your property based on current market conditions; 2. Actively promote your property on many real estate Web sites and media outlets; 3. Negotiate offers, giving you guidance and advice to make the best decision; 4. Arrange for any necessary repairs to be done; 5. Keep you "in the loop" throughout the closing process; 6. Bring the sale to a successful conclusion. Since we live in California, this was all done long distance. The house was sold in a little over two weeks. The whole transaction was smooth and hassle-free. We highly recommend Larry Tollen for your real estate needs."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

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. 

Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.
