Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>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). </p></div>

How much do appraisals cost by home type?

• <div><p>The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:</p><ul><li><p>Single-family homes: $300–$400</p></li><li><p>FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500</p></li><li><p>Condominium: $300–$500</p></li><li><p>Multi-family home: $500–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000</p></li><li><p>Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000</p></li><li><p>Raw land: $1,000–$8,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it&rsquo;s best to stay out of the appraiser&rsquo;s way. Make yourself available, but don&rsquo;t engage or interrupt, and don&rsquo;t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Q: Who pays for a home appraisal?

• <div><p>The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Does board and batten increase home value?

• <div><p>If <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-board-batten-siding.htm">installing board and batten</a> fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn&rsquo;t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home&rsquo;s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home&rsquo;s price won&rsquo;t see a noticeable bump. </p></div>

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.

Everyone in my area uses ABE Upholstery. I can't say enough about him. He did a phenomenal job on an antique sofa. The price sounds high, but it is not because he worked on a 100 year old piece of furniture. He completely redid it inside and out and I bought high end fabric. I think what you...
