"We recently worked with Cindy ("Lucinda") to buy our "forever home", and we have to say we were really pleased with our time together! In early spring, we met Cindy at a showing of a house when we had not yet selected a realtor. I felt very glad for having met her so coincidently! Out of the 6 houses we visited, she was the only one to ask for our contact info to represent us AND followed up with us that Sunday evening. Despite explaining we were a few months off - she met with us over coffee for an hour later to talk about the process, what we were looking for, and Cindy told us up front that she would be our advocate through and through. We found throughout the process, she would listen and internalize our requests in looking at houses and negotiations, was very flexible with her time and rabid about trying to get the right house for our family even if it meant pointing out things counter to what we thought we wanted. Her communications were thorough and follow-through excellent. She's even been helpful with some warranty issues after closing! I can say that having worked with other realtors before, Cindy's stellar professionalism and kindness were the absolute best-in-class. Thank you, Cindy!"

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.
