Q: How do appraisals benefit property buyers and sellers?

• <div><p>They provide objective, third-party valuation, guiding fair sales or purchase prices.</p></div>

Q: How can I make sure my property gets the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home&rsquo;s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: Do appraisals usually come in high?

• <div><p>Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you&rsquo;ll often see the opposite happening.</p></div>

Q: Will a tennis court affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>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&mdash;like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court&mdash;then your property taxes will be affected. </p></div>

Q: Should I skip a home appraisal?

• <div><p>As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you&rsquo;ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. </p><p>In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers&rsquo; investments. As such, it isn&rsquo;t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.</p></div>

Scott and his team were so helpful and informative during my first home buying experience. Not only was it a cross-country move, but I changed employers, and I was applying for a VA loan. A more complicated situation was no sweat for them and they educated me every step of the way. I had worked...

From the start to the finish, thanks to Shively's we had the best move we've ever had. We moved a large household from one part of town to another. They were professional, courteous, friendly, and very careful with our things. For example, they noticed that an antique table was a bit wobbly and...

I don't feel that the people were very friendly. Also, quoted me $200 less than another jewelry store I went to. Very disappointed. Won't go back because they made me feel uncomfortable.

It is a silent auction and you find out later if you won the item or not. They have an incredible diversity of items that they auction, especially antiques. They have always been super nice and friendly to me.

I am not a customer of National City, however I am arguably the one most affected by their complete incompetence and their complete lack of a sense of urgency. Their customer, who entered into a real estate sales agreement with me (the seller), received an "approval certification" letter...
