How do you calculate real estate development costs?

• <div><p>You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development. </p></div>

Q: Do granite countertops add value to your home?

• <div><p>Granite countertops typically add value to your home, especially if upgrading from a less durable material or one that requires more maintenance, like concrete, wood, or laminate. Granite strikes an excellent balance between longevity and affordability, so most home buyers will see immense value in granite countertops. Plus, upgrading countertops to granite is likely to have a more significant impact on your home value than many other home improvement projects, as many buyers use the kitchens and bathrooms to judge the overall quality of the home. </p></div>

Q: What can go wrong when buying a house?

• <div><p>From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. </p><p>A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What causes the cost of homeowners insurance to increase?

• <div><p>Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any &ldquo;attractive nuisances&rdquo;&mdash;features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury&mdash;like a pool or treehouse. </p></div>

Q: Do wood floors improve home value?

• <div><p>Yes, wood floors are among the most desirable flooring options, and most homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with high-quality wood floors installed. Wood floors are relatively easy to repair, maintain, and clean, and buyers may pay a premium for the convenience and natural beauty of wood floors, especially if they&rsquo;re new or in good condition. You can reasonably expect a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">return on investment </a>of around <b>75%</b> or more when you upgrade to wood floors, depending on the quality and type of wood.</p></div>

I couldn't be more pleased. After a disapointing experience with another agent Tracey was a professional miracle. She works hard for her client and communicates exceptionally well. Super intelligent and hard working. Wish I could get her to work for our company in the North East.
