"The process was easy, and pricing options were provided up fromt. They gave clear instructions about what they needed for the appraisal. They provided an appraisal quickly, with a nice turn around time. I would call this company again next I need an appraisal."

"I hired him to do an appraisal while my house was on the market for sale just to get a feeling of the market and prices for similar homes around me. I know that you never get the same appraisal from two different people. It does depend on a lot, and I do understand this, but the issue that after I hired him, he told me that he could not complete the appraisals because I overpaid when I bought this house and my house no way get the asking price. He refuses to complete the report, and honestly, he did not charge me and refused to take money or give me the appraisal, but I still paid him 150$ for his time and effort for going to the house and take pictures and all that beautiful jazz!! Anyway, he sent me an unusable report almost empty after I sent him the 150$, and at is completed empty with incorrect information about my house as well! I sold the home over asking price by 10k. The issue is when you hire someone, you expect you get the job done whatever the result it is. My two cents he is nice, but he wasted my time and did even did the job he was hired to do whatever the result of the report it is he should complete the job. Honestly, because of him, I accept the first offer I got. This is my story and its your call to hire him or not, but I had to share my experience with this company."

"Brian Butcher got back to me very quickly after contacting home advisor. He responded quickly to all my messages. He came to do the appraisal on my schedule. He was prompt for the appointment and had done his homework on my property before the appointment. He was friendly and efficient. The appraisal report was completed when he said it would be. The appraisal was thorough and priced fairly. I would absolutely recommend appraisals by Brian Butcher."

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn’t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don’t like the appearance.

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 a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

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.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite.
