"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance. "

From the time we show up, we look over every bit of your perspective home, we take pictures of problems and noteworthy items we find, and then report back to you with all our findings. We want to be sure that when you walk into your new home that you don't get any suprises. Just kick back on the couch after a long day of moving and relax.

"Chris was awesome. I have had him inspect two homes for me. One had lots of problems and one looked to be flawless but on both he looked over with a fine tooth comb. I have construction experience but he found so many things on both houses that most would have never even thought of looking for but would have cost them in the end. He has truly saved me thousands with his inspection. I feel I truly knew everything I needed to in order to make an appropriate offer. Every, and I mean every, outlet, every window , dryer vent, sink, the list could go on. This sounds over the top but he truly is so much better than the 3 other inspectors I have had for my other houses. Great explanation in person as well as detailed printed report the next day. Absolutely no reservations!"

A professional home inspection is your best tool when it comes to making the most of your home investment. Whether you are buying or selling, an objective professional inspection will provide you with important information that you can use. If you're buying, you want to know that the home you're considering is safe and sound. You want to avoid unwelcome and costly surprises. If you're selling your home, you will need to make full disclosure of any and all deficiencies. You'll want to know what, if any, repairs to make so you can market your home most effectively. Whichever side of the "For Sale" sign you're on, a quality home inspection is essential.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

They maintain profitability by setting competitive rental prices, reducing vacancies through effective marketing, and ensuring tenants renew leases by offering well-maintained properties.

When built right, fireplaces increase the value of your home. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing; home buyers will usually respond to the charm fireplaces can add. The only scenarios that could lead to a fireplace depreciating a property are the following: if it’s in need of constant or immediate repair, is unusable, or isn’t up to code.

The short answer is yes. Room additions almost always increase a home's value. But just how much they increase it varies by the materials you choose, the type of room you build, and other factors. For instance, adding a sunroom will yield you a 49% return on your investment, while adding a primary suite results in a 63% return on your investment.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.
