Do built-in bookcases add value?

• <div><p>While a single shelf here and there doesn’t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home’s value under the right circumstances. Not every built-in bookcase works in your favor here—those built from high-quality materials tend to provide a better ROI. If you’re looking for your bookcase to work for your home’s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood. </p></div>

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>

Q: How often should I have my property appraised?

• <div><p>Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.</p></div>

Q: Is hiring a real estate agent worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they&rsquo;ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.</p></div>

Q: Do basement bedrooms count on an appraisal?

• <div><p>Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they&rsquo;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&rsquo;t a legal living space won&rsquo;t affect your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: Do built-in bookcases add value?

• <div><p>While a single shelf here and there doesn&rsquo;t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home&rsquo;s value under the right circumstances. Not every built-in bookcase works in your favor here&mdash;those built from high-quality materials tend to provide a better ROI.

Perfectly. Arrived on time, got right to work, did a fantastic job. Removed and cleaned all screens as well as windows. Large house with 30-plus oversized widows, done in 2 hours. Much more for the money than I expected. Will use them again on another property if they service that area.

"Linda Cavazos, from Redbird Appraisal, was great!!! She accepted and completed the appraisal very close to Christmas. The appraisal report exceeded our expectations through Linda?s thorough appraisal steps during and after her onsite visit. We almost placed our home on the market approximately $25k below the appraised value. The appraisal helped us avoid this potential mistake. Additionally, after measuring living space, Linda found we had a little more living space than originally listed. Never put your home on the market without an appraisal?and use Linda if you do.
