"The diamond in my wedding ring was my mother's and it was in the original setting. I've been wanting to remount the diamond into a new ring setting for a long time and finally scheduled an appointment at Michael E. Minden. I am so glad that I did!! Their staff is incredibly professional and always so kind. They helped me keep the history of the diamond and gold from my old ring to transform it into the brand new wedding ring of my dreams!! I can now wear the materials that I inherited in a modern style that I enjoy. Thank you Michael E. Minden Diamond Jewelers!"
Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts
Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.
A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.
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.
Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.
Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.
