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: Will land ever lose value?

• <div><p>Land doesn&rsquo;t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: How long does the appraisal process usually take?

• <div><p>Around 1-2 weeks, including inspection and reporting time for an official evaluation.</p></div>

Q: What if the appraisal is lower than the offer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re selling a home and the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-appraisal-low.htm">appraisal comes in lower than an offer</a>, you&rsquo;re effectively getting more for your home than it&rsquo;s worth. If you&rsquo;re a buyer, it means you may be overpaying. Some buyers may try to reduce their offer amount to match the appraisal, but if they signed an agreement already at the offer price and the agreement didn&rsquo;t make the sale contingent on the appraised value, there&rsquo;s often no option to negotiate. Keep in mind that a low appraisal may push your loan-to-value ratio too high, meaning a lender may not give you a mortgage.</p></div>

Q: How do appraisers adjust for a finished basement?

• <div><p>While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location&rsquo;s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. </p></div>

I've used them several times over the years and they have always prompt and reasonable. When I was out of town the furnace broke down and my wife was distraught. I called Rick and he went right out and got it going. My mom has used them also. Real good company to deal with.

They were very professional. They called ahead and scheduled an appointment, then followed through on the services they had been contracted to provide. The agent kept in contact by phone and reported on the progress during the time they were working on our computer. We would use them again.
