Common Inspection & Appraisal Service Questions

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.

Energy-efficient homes generally have higher appraisals and appeal to buyers.

Custom artwork can increase the value of your home, especially if stained glass is a common trend in your region. However, you also run the risk of the style of stained glass not appealing to a buyer. In this case, the potential increase in home value could be relatively small, and it can even detract from value. When installing stained glass, it’s a better idea to see it as a personal project than a potential bump to your home value.

You can ensure a home inspector is unbiased by doing your research. Verify their work history and certifications so you know they’re qualified to be inspecting your home. Read reviews to understand other customers’ experiences and whether or not they were satisfied with the inspector’s assessment. Interview potential home inspectors and ask how they get their clients. If they’re not dependent on any one realtor for clients, they’re unlikely to risk producing a faulty report just to benefit one agent.
