"Mark may be the most responsive person I've dealt with in financial services.  He answers the phone when you call.  He responds to e-mails quickly.   He is available whenever you have a question - and I had questions at 6:30 in the morning, 8:00 at night, and on Saturdays and Sundays and I never had trouble reaching him.  He works very hard to find the best rate and terms for your individual situation.  He'll make recommendations and suggestions, but I never felt as if he was pressuring us in any one direction.  He allowed us time to think about things, talk it over, and make a stress-free decision.  Once the application was submitted things moved very quickly and smoothly.  The appraiser showed up when he was supposed to, approval came quickly, and then an individual came to the house for the actual closing.  Can't get much easier than that.  And as a bonus, the Angie's List coupon saved us $400.  I'm not sure rates can go much lower than they are now, but if they do and we decide to refi again, I'm calling Mark."

"Sal Marino did an excellent job explaining the coverages, etc of your home warranty. While being knowledgeable and professional he was not that pushy, annoying salesperson type that normally turns us off to the deal and yet he made the sale. We appreciated his help."

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in New Castle, DE

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.
