"My experience working with Cindy was superb. I was quite nervous about the process as it was my first time purchasing a home, but Cindy put all my fears to rest. From the second we started looking at homes, she was super energetic and positive. She went to look at each and every single condo with me, and she always was prepared when it came to all pertinent information regarding the condo. When she and I discovered the condo that matched all my requirements, she was on the phone with the listing agent pronto, and helped move the process along swiftly. I had numerous questions, and she was never too busy to answer my phone and answer my questions. If my questions required answers from someone else, she would quickly call/email the designated person in order to attain an answer. She came with me to all the home inspections and was constantly 2 steps ahead - she thought to ask questions that I hadn't even thought of. You can tell with Cindy that she comes from such a place of deep sincerity - she wants her clients to be certain about their decision, and exceedingly happy and she goes the extra mile to ensure they are. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Cindy - from the very first day, until the date of my settlement, I felt like I always had someone I could lean and rely on, and working with her was wonderful. You really and truly feel taken care of, and I know that I would work with her again in an instant. I thought purchasing my first home would be so stressful and frustrating, but with Cindy as my realtor, it was truly painless and even fun!!! I highly recommend anyone looking for a home to work with Cindy! You will be in the best hands, and will not be disappointed at all!"

I am an appraiser specializing in personal property, antiques and decorative arts. I can assist you with cataloging your collections and advise you on acquisition or disposition of property. I provide USPAP-compliant appraisals for estates, insurance, or charitable contributions. I can also assist you with property division and damage/loss claims.
You can estimate a bathroom addition’s value between 10% to 20% of a home’s value. But this also accounts for extra square footage since homes with more bathrooms tend to have more space. When considering adding one, you should know that a bathroom generally adds only $5,000 to an appraisal price initially, with adjustments made for other factors like local home values.
Garages increase a property’s value by about 80% of the build price. The national average cost to build a garage is $23,900.
However, on an appraisal, a garage contributes to the whole rather than as a part. For example, if you have a garage, your appraiser then tries to compare it to nearby homes with garages, which often have a higher value.
A bedroom can add anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 or more to an appraisal. It depends heavily on the size of the bedroom, the overall home’s value, the location, and what amenities it might include (like a walk-in closet).
A drive-by appraisal usually costs $100 to $150. For a drive-by appraisal, the appraiser only visually assesses the home's exterior, in addition to reviewing the real estate records on the home and comparing it to nearby homes.
An FHA appraisal costs between $400 and $700. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are usually less strict, so the appraisals are often more affordable. VA appraisal fees range from $425 to $900 for a single-family home. Compared to FHA loans, VA loans can be more involved.
A home appraiser will look at the real estate paperwork related to the home, but they will also do an exterior and interior assessment. Reviews include the square footage of the home and/or acreage of the lot, the age and condition of the home, construction materials used, the general state of the economy and local market, and the design and style of the home, along with any special features it may have. While an appraiser won’t be as thorough as a home inspector, they will likely notice very obvious problems and defects.
