Q: How do I prepare for an appraisal?

• <div><p>Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </p></div>

Q: What should you do if the appraisal is lower than the offer?

• <div><p>Unless the buyer or seller makes the offer or offer acceptance contingent on the appraisal results, the sale will move forward unaffected if the appraisal comes back lower than the offer. This essentially means the buyer is paying more than what the home is worth, but without that contingency, both parties are locked into the deal. Some buyers may try to negotiate the purchase price down to the appraisal value, but this may not be possible if there wasn&rsquo;t an appraisal contingency in the offer agreement.</p></div>

Q: Does a tile roof increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, a tile roof will increase the value of your home more than an asphalt shingle roof. Not only do tile roofs look nicer and add more to your curb appeal, but buyers will understand that roof tiles last longer than most other materials, so they can expect minimal maintenance and a long roof lifespan after closing, which often means they&rsquo;ll be willing to pay more for a home with this roof option.</p></div>

They were there for several days. It was all good. They take very good care of the animals and they give them lots of attention. They take them out real frequent. It's also my vet and I like having a vet around my dogs when I'm gone. They are very reasonable.
