"It's hard to sum up Mindy in a few sentences. Mindy was recommended to us through a good friend, and we highly recommend her to bring you through this process as well. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and absolutely dedicated to getting her clients what they want. We had an extremely tight timeline, but she was able to walk us through the process and at no point did this seem overwhelming (and we bought and moved during the peak of the pandemic!). She listened and worked hard to find us our home, often working late into the evening to accommodate our busy schedules. She was exactly what we needed; she was able to inform and work with us in our negotiations. She was a huge advocate for us, and seemed to personally take on our wants and desires. We believe she reduced a seemingly ungainly process into something that seemed step-by-step and manageable. We do keep in touch, and it’s great to feel like we made a friend throughout this process. Mindy is unequivocally the best, and if we needed to go through this process again, we would without a doubt choose her."

Chuck is a great realtor to work with he is very personable and responsive, he has great understanding of the real estate business and he works to fit your needs.

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.
