"We contacted Team Sheets (recommended by Dave Ramsey) on February 7th describing our remote situation. Our tenants moved out of the house on March 7th. Team Sheets swooped in immediately and gave a detailed assessment of the condition of the property. Wendi provided honest counsel in relation to selling "as is" and also detailed accurate estimates for some work that would ensure the property brought top dollar. We were in contact with Wendi almost daily while the contractors conducted the work. Team Sheets was there every step of the way providing progress updates and recommendations. I can't even imagine the behind the scenes work. Wendi listed the house on April 11th at a price she discussed with us the first week. I lost count of how many showings were held on the April 12th. We had four offers that day. With expert guidance, we accepted an offer $15k over our asking price. Wendi, Don and Autumn took care of the rest. Autumn set us up with a Power of Attorney for Don to represent us at closing. Flawless! Closing occurred on May 15th. Our profit was wired to our bank account and available immediately! Bottom line: Professionals - Clear concise timely communication - Extremely thorough - All the tools necessary to seal the deal with proven results!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Installing a flagpole can improve your home’s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You’ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will trimming trees away from the new lawn addition.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.

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.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.
