"They came in, walked around, and left within 10 minutes.They did not calculate the liveable sq-ft correctly because they did not include the bedroom over the garage, which is heated. I brought this to their attention.They said that they would investigate and never called back or returned any of my calls or emails."

With my abundant resources, top notch support team, enthusiasm and attention to your needs, I strive to make the experience as efficient and successful as possible. A majority of my business is referral based, it is imperative that each client is truly satisfied with my service.

"I'm a 75 year old senior who was looking to purchase a home in Queensbury, NY. This wasn't my first rodeo, however, I have never been treated so poorly by a real estate agent. Aubrey sounded great over the phone, but that was my only interaction with her throughout the entire process of buying my home. I guess she moved on to her next client quickly, because she couldn't be bothered to represent me at the inspection or closing of my new home. She sent a guy I had never seen or heard of before instead. I don't think he was even part of her team. I understand I'm not buying a million dollar home, but after spending over $380K, I would ad lease appreciate a thank you card or some kind of acknowledgement from Aubrey. I didn't even get a closing gift. Aubrey seems very fake."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

If you are trying to sell a home with asbestos siding, most jurisdictions force you to disclose this in official documentation about the home. Some potential buyers may not want to purchase a home with asbestos siding, which could negatively affect their health if the siding becomes disturbed. However, as long as the siding is in good condition, some buyers may not see it as a disadvantage. You could take on the cost to replace asbestos siding if you have concerns over this material affecting your home’s resale value.

Stylish drop tiles, such as wood or metal, could add value to your home if the drop ceiling hides imperfections on an old surface. However, traditional fiberboard and plastic drop ceilings can have the opposite effect, especially if new prospective buyers do not like that aesthetic. Savvy buyers may also know that drop ceilings are a go-to ceiling option in areas where leaks are an issue, given the easy access to the area above the ceiling and the ease of replacing a single tile. This could dissuade a buyer from purchasing your home.

Adding a second story can increase the resale value of your home, but your cost-to-value ratio might not give you the return on investment (ROI) you were looking for. Also, there are factors to keep in mind that can impact the value of your home, such as market conditions, your neighborhood, curb appeal, and functionality. If you’re hoping this project will give you a significant ROI, talk with a realtor to see what potential increase you can expect and what you can do to maximize your home’s value.

A heated driveway can increase your home’s value depending on where you live and the age of your system. If you live in a region with very heavy snowfall, this feature will be more desirable amongst potential buyers. If you don’t plan to sell your home for another 15 years or more, then it likely won’t be a big selling feature as the technology will have aged too much over time. A heated driveway will only increase your home value if you’re planning to sell your home in the next two to five years.
