How long does an appraisal take?

• <div><p>The entire appraisal process takes from <b>seven to 10 days</b>. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.</p><p>Home appraisal services include the following tasks:</p><ul><li><p>Inspect home interior and exterior</p></li><li><p>Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations</p></li><li><p>Review comparable properties</p></li><li><p>Write an appraisal report</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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>

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: What is the difference between a property valuation and an appraisal?

• <div><p>A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert&rsquo;s opinion on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-appraisal-vs-market-value.htm">how much your property will sell for</a>. 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&rsquo;ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.</p></div>

Q: Does wainscoting add value to a home?

• <div><p>Wainscoting isn&rsquo;t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don&rsquo;t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn&rsquo;t result in depreciation of your home&rsquo;s value&mdash;usually the opposite. </p></div>

Emergency call, no one was working after 5. This great crew came out, fixed the problem, and left the area cleaner than when they came. Would recommend to anyone with a septic issue.

They arrived when scheduled, went to work promptly. They finished sooner then expected and cleaned up quickly. I had five trees removed and the stumps ground done. The price was just aa little lower than expected but the quality was excellent. Definitely will rehire if needed. James C Konitzer

They did a very professional job. Roof looks great. They went over everything with my wife and myself before, during, and after the install. Installers were very professional and kept the property around the house very clean. I would highly recommend them.

Appraiser promptly replied to my request and emailed the details requested, as requested. I would have hired him if it weren't for the fact that my lender required the use of their pre approved appraiser.
