Our first responsibility at Taft Appraisal Service is to inspect the property to determine its true status. We must see features hands on, such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the location, and so on, to ensure they truly exist and are in the shape a reasonable person would expect them to be. No matter what type of real estate you have, our experience and hours of study as licensed appraisers make us qualified to provide home valuations in Dutchess County for clients ranging from national mortgage companies, to local lenders or individual businesses and consumers.

But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.

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.

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.
