"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.

"I've worked with several foundation companies over many years and they continue to price fairly. 3 other bids were asking for almost double estimated price. The process was fast and painless 1.) A1 examines the foundation and provides an estimate 2.) Professional Engineer is scheduled to re-examine the property and repairs (you get a discount on the $500 cost from A1) 3.) Schedule a time and A1 installed and adjusted all piers in a single day 4.) Same Engineer comes out to property to do a final inspection. Mariana, the assistant, is a sweet person to work with. Kevin, estimator, can talk about any subject for days."

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

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—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

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.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.
