"My wife and I recently sold our home with Hilton Realty Advisors and are now finishing the buying process.  Matt is a pleasure to work with. He is always upbeat, and ready for a challenge. He is very responsive to phone calls and emails regardless of time or day. Matt is prepared to answer the tough questions and give you honest answers. He is your advocate from the beginning to the end of the process. Matt has superior knowledge and is well respected among his peers. Matt demonstrates a love for his profession, his clients, and for his community. His firm?s dedication to serving the community was one of the things that made us choose Matt. We would have no hesitation in recommending Matt to family or friends for any real estate needs large or small. We both will consider Matt a friend long after this process is over.

"We worked with John for awhile and we finally found and
bought our very first house.
We were the most complicated buyers but John has always
showed patience and understanding.
He guided us throughout the whole process and helped us making
the right decisions. He always returned our calls in a quickly manner and
always did what he had promised to do.
He is a hard worker, highly motivated, and very dedicated to
his job and to his clients. He is, indeed, young but is more professional and
experienced than any other agent out there.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different types of home inspections available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

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.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.
