"I found Erik from Elite Appraisals through Angi. A local appraiser who we had worked with before passed away a couple years ago so sadly we needed a new contact and went to look on Angi. From the minute we submitted our info, Erik reached out to find out more about the project. He was very thorough in trying to understand our needs and the situation the bank was trying to appraise. We talked on the phone until he was clear about what we were asking. He then scheduled our appointment. We called to reschedule and he was very accommodating. He gave us a verbal bid over the phone and followed that up with a written contract, which was appropriately priced (we felt like it was a very good price).. He arrived on time as scheduled and took all the time that was needed to appraise the property! He was very professional. We all felt very comfortable with his assessment and service. He delivered the appraisal on time and weâ d recommend using this company to anyone based on our experience!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

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). 

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite.
