"Ash was a pleasure to deal with. He knew exactly what I needed done and was very responsive, courteous, and professional. I was referred to Anthony, the appraiser who covers the Westchester Area. Anthony reached out to me right away and he was very accommodating in working his schedule around my availability. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole process was completed in less than a week. I was very satisfied with the detailed appraisal I received and I would definitely turn to Homeland again for any future appraisal needs."

"I recently worked with Dan on a real estate appraisal. After speaking with a few appraisers, I chose Dan because he took the time to thoroughly explain the process, including IRS-qualified appraisal criteria, which made me feel the most comfortable. I was very impressed with his professionalism and expertise. He was punctual, thorough, and delivered a comprehensive report quickly. I highly recommend Dan and would work with him again in the future."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

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.

While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children.
