"Did what was requested in a timely manner. No hassles which is exactly what a person needs when dealing with the loss of a spouse. This was specific for an estate appraisal. Not an appraisal to buy real estate. This is for estate tax purposes which is different. Thank you."

"Ultimately, I chose not to pursue this job with Mario because the job lends itself better as DIY... it's a rental property, after all, and the quality of work that Mario performs (i.e. high quality) is more than I need in the rental unit."

"I had purchased a deal on Angies List for 2 hours of electrician labor.  The services were performed exemplary and performed far more service in 2 hours than I had expected.  I said at the outset that I was prepared to pay for additional time.  Pete performed the service and refused to charge for the additional 20 minutes; he said he had a policy against "nickle and diming."  They'll get my business in the future."

"My main goal in using this service was to get an idea of just what value my house had. I have lied in the house (built in 1890) for thirty years. I have personally done some renovation but I mostly have had professional electricians and plumbers do their work.
My city in Massachusetts revalues real-estate annually. (How else can the teachers and other over-pensioned public employees get their benefits? :-)  It has had a rash of tear-downs and subsequent erections of many McMansions. Currently, an over-supply of $1 million to $5 million houses exists. In fact the over-supply is a few times MORE than the other price ranges combined.
I live about two blocks away from a fairly pricey neighborhood, but my house is next to a very busy intersection. A neighborhood school and public transit are nearby. So, I wanted to get an idea if continued maintenance or improvement was better financially than doing the only the barest of work; i.e., a positive NPV (net present value).
The owner and his assistant called me separately about a week after we met. I did not detect any hard-sell. When I get my tax bill for the year 2015 I will know if the company helped me to determine a current value that matched the city's assessment. As for answering the question of a positive NPV for any improvements, I do not expect a clear answer as markets can change somewhat quickly.
     1) They offered a thirty-day guarantee on pricing ... I don't feel comfortable taking fewer than thirty days when I have considered projects to improve my house; in fact, I have taken longer than for previous work I have done.
     2) when I hear "proprietary software", bells ring as in the stock market's "proprietary algorithms" for High Frequency Trading
(basically the transfer of profit to the insiders (the pay-to-play game).
     3) I have seen the one-stop fits-all model before. A local wood floor installer has a company name that implies it is local to Boston. In fact, it sub-contracts to those available in the METRO Boston area (the two installers came from southern NH, about 35 miles away).
     4) One price estimate to power-wash my rear deck was $3,200. I have power-washed my deck several times. I own a power-washer. They priced a new rug for the front stairs that also seemed a little high.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.

If the appraised value comes in lower than an offer, a buyer will normally be able to back out because a low appraisal can prevent a mortgage from going to underwriting. The buyer can also try to negotiate for a lower sale price or offer to put down more cash to bridge the appraisal gap.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Adding a second story can increase the resale value of your home, but your cost-to-value ratio might not give you the return on investment (ROI) you were looking for. Also, there are factors to keep in mind that can impact the value of your home, such as market conditions, your neighborhood, curb appeal, and functionality. If you’re hoping this project will give you a significant ROI, talk with a realtor to see what potential increase you can expect and what you can do to maximize your home’s value.

You should aim to have three or more bedrooms for the best resale value, and having four bedrooms is considered the gold standard. Having just two bedrooms is a functional obsolescence for larger family sizes, so a minimum of three bedrooms is ideal. Adding square footage from additional bedrooms will almost always be worthwhile, though, and can easily provide an ROI of 70%.
