"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.

"As much as I would like to say that my husband or I did "our due diligence" when it came to the home buying process, unfortunately, we did not. We knew absolutely nothing about purchasing a home. All we knew is we had decent credit scores, we'd finally saved the money for the down payment/closing costs & we had good paying jobs. In other words, we were ready, but didn't know where to start. We had had 4 other realtors prior to Dana but none of them gave off the "I'm here to help you" vibe like Dana. My biggest concern was that we were going to get another realtor who wasn't going to give it their all in helping us get the best deal for our buck but Dana did her thing. Dana was resourceful and very knowledgeable. I loved how she listened to our requests & discussed our options with us. I loved the fact that she was completely honest with us & kept it real & the thing I really appreciated about her was the fact that she went hard for us. Meaning, she asked questions for us that she knew that we wouldn't have known to ask, she wouldn't let us sign a shady contract (even though there was 2 that we would've moved forward on had she not firmly told us "no, she didn't like its terms"), & she didn't have us wasting time looking at houses that she knew we weren't interested in... I could go on & on... & really this review doesn't do the awesome job she did with us justice I was so comfortable with her that I felt like I was going house shopping with my mom. We were so confident that she was going to help us get a great deal that we trusted & heavily relied on her judgement & expertise & she delivered. She found us an excellent deal with our house. We've been in our home for almost a year now & whenever we receive a document regarding our home or if I have any questions related to our home, such as taxes or homestead or protesting taxes any of that stuff, I call/text Dana & even to this day, she comes to the rescue Dana Meeks... Best realtor ever"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
