"Adrienne Hughes is hands-down the best realtor anyone can ask for. She helped us buy our first house back in 2015, and she has been on our team ever since! Buying your first house is a little scary. It’s a big commitment and in Austin, a frustrating process. I’m so grateful that I had Adrienne there to help me every step of the way. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had, and was always willing to show me a house, even on a Sunday! She is a highly skilled negotiator, and helped us find just the right house for our desired area and budget. Adrienne really looks out for her clients — she schooled us on the Homestead exemption and how to apply for it. She’s also been there to support us on any follow-up needs. Year after year, she’s provided us with comps for our our tax appraisals, and has given us suggestions on whether or not we should protest the estimated market value. She knows the ins and outs of the housing market like no other and has always been available to answer any questions we’ve had since our purchase. With Adrienne, you get not only a knowledgeable, dedicated realtor, but a lifelong ally in home ownership! If I’m ever in the market again to buy or sell, I would absolutely want to work with her again!"

"I was very pleasantly surprised that Gary was able to schedule my appraisal within a week of my request, considering how busy appraisers are this year due to the high number of property tax protests. He kept me informed of when he would arrive, was on time, immediately set to work upon arrival, and provided my appraisal report in less than a week. Very personable and answered all my questions. I would definitely use him again."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

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.

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.
