"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. "

"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.

Yes, if your home is poorly maintained and has weeds and overgrowth, it can affect your home appraisal and lower the value. Home buyers want to see a well-kept home, and if yours lacks curb appeal whether inundated by weeds or not, you could be neglecting the potential for it to reach its full value.

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

Composite decking can greatly increase your home’s value, making this project a great home renovation cost for recouping your spending. Research from Remodeling’s 2024 Cost vs Value Report suggests that deck additions have an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. 

Installing a deck on your property makes your yard more functional while enhancing the universal design and aesthetic of your outdoor landscaping. These added features can entice prospective buyers by making a home more sellable.

Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.
