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 an experienced real estate professional, who was my agent in selling my first townhouse, as well as the purchase and recent sale of my second townhouse. Both homes sold in less than 30 days! Larry truly understands all aspects of the home buying/selling process. In particular, his advice on the pricing and marketing for the two townhouses I sold was invaluable, as was his experience in negotiating contract terms and home inspection repair requests. Larry’s extensive experience in the Triangle housing market was also invaluable, so much so that I quickly learned to trust his opinion of the homes we viewed. Larry treats his clients like family and always makes himself available for questions, updates, etc. Overall, I have been incredibly pleased with Larry and cannot thank him enough for helping me to buy and sell my previous homes. I plan on working with Larry for all future home purchases. If you are in doubt, let me reassure you that you are in good hands with Larry."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

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.

Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.
