"We hired BK for a home appraisal. They were prompt and had the paperwork to us quickly. Thier appraisal was identical to what the mortage company's appraiser did a month later."

"My recent experience with the Melton Team was the best (of my five sales or purchases with them) by far; amazing, considering it had the most “glitches!” I had a townhouse to sell that needed repairs, and Erin was instrumental in communicating with the HOA to make sure they were done. Even when the HOA balked, changed their contact person, and generally tried to give us the runaround, Erin was tenacious. All the work that I’d tried to get done over the past few years was completed in a matter of weeks, and on time for closing. When the closing date kept changing due to buyer’s paperwork, Erin kept me informed constantly. I always felt confident that the closing would happen without any unnecessary delays. Throughout the process, Erin explained every step, process, figure, and every bit of paperwork. Not being a financial genius myself, it was very reassuring to know that she had everything under control. I trust Erin completely, and I’ve relied on her five times now for her outstanding knowledge, integrity, and abilities. She is also a joy to work with; she is professional, efficient, patient…and so nice! I would never consider changing realtors…and I hope many others will work with her for their property sale or purchase!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.

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.

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.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

Yes, built-in bookshelves can be worth the investment and can add value to your home, especially when constructed from high-quality, timeless materials like luxury hardwood. They offer a practical and stylish storage solution that utilizes wall space effectively. While they cost more than store-bought units, the custom fit and potential to increase your property's resale value make them a desirable feature for many buyers, particularly for homeowners with large book collections. For the best return on investment, consider having them professionally built.
