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>

Do built-in bookcases add value?

• <div><p>While a single shelf here and there doesn’t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home’s value under the right circumstances. Not every built-in bookcase works in your favor here—those built from high-quality materials tend to provide a better ROI. If you’re looking for your bookcase to work for your home’s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood. </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: What factors affect audit costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.</p></div>

Q: Does a flagpole increase property value?

• <div><p>Installing a flagpole can improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You&rsquo;ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/helpful-tips-pruning-trees.htm">trimming trees</a> away from the new lawn addition.</p></div>

Q: How do I get the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

F & A Haul Away was very polite. They had to reschedule but did come on time and took the very heavy piano I needed removed from the property quickly. The value was well worth it to me.

I believe George saved me from making a bad decision regarding the purchase of this property. He found a major flaw in the plumbing system that was built into the trailer when it was manufactured. This caused me to rethink the deal and we are looking into other possibilities. Thanks!

Todd Webster said that every price that his website and All American homes lists is "bait and switch" and then failed to call me back or return dozens of calls and emails after meeting with us at the property. Do not waste your time.
