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>

Q: What if I can’t find any records of when my house was built?

• <div><p>If you can&rsquo;t find any records online, you&rsquo;ll need to contact your county clerk&rsquo;s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time. </p></div>

Q: How much does a general appraisal cost?

• <div><p>The cost ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the property's size and location. Due to their complexity, commercial appraisals may cost more.</p></div>

Q: How can I find a trustworthy appraiser?

• <div><p>Some appraisers hold a Member of the Appraisal Institute designation. This accolade is the highest credential property appraisers can earn. An MAI appraisal is typically used for commercial properties.</p><p>While your lender will likely recommend an appraiser, you can also hire a professional home appraiser on your own. Choose someone who is experienced in your type of residential property, and ensure they hold all of the necessary credentials that your state or region requires.</p></div>

Q: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</p></div>

I would never use him again. He gave me a low ball appraisal which I found out he does to everybody. He gave me an appraisal for $75,000 and I sold it for $95,000. He is paid big bucks for screwing people over. He was there when he said he would be.

"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.
