"Mindy came highly recommended by a coworker and we are so glad that we found her! As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and weren't very familiar with certain parts of the process. Mindy was so helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. She got us in to view multiple homes within a day of us contacting her, even in the midst of the pandemic, and spent a whole afternoon doing showings with us. She was very patient and accommodating as well when we changed our minds about homes we wanted to see. She responded promptly to all of our communications, even after normal business hours, which ended up being crucial to us getting our contract. She stayed in contact with every party involved in the process (lender, inspector, title company, and home warranty company) and took care of all of the details so that we didn't have to worry about anything. She also provided great advice and insights based on her own experience to make sure that we got the best services possible. On top of all of that, Mindy is amazingly generous and kind. She treated us like friends from the very beginning and truly went the extra mile to make us feel that we were valued. She has even checked in with us a few times after we closed to make sure everything is going well. Overall, Mindy's expertise and manner put us at ease throughout what can be a very stressful process. I will be recommending Mindy to anyone I know who is looking to buy in the Greater Richmond area from now on!"

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. I would recommend Chuck to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the future and would not consider anyone else for my future real estate endeavors."

"My recent experience with the Melton Team was the best (of my five sales or purchases with them) by far; amazing, considering it had the most “glitches!” I had a townhouse to sell that needed repairs, and Erin was instrumental in communicating with the HOA to make sure they were done. Even when the HOA balked, changed their contact person, and generally tried to give us the runaround, Erin was tenacious. All the work that I’d tried to get done over the past few years was completed in a matter of weeks, and on time for closing. When the closing date kept changing due to buyer’s paperwork, Erin kept me informed constantly. I always felt confident that the closing would happen without any unnecessary delays. Throughout the process, Erin explained every step, process, figure, and every bit of paperwork. Not being a financial genius myself, it was very reassuring to know that she had everything under control. I trust Erin completely, and I’ve relied on her five times now for her outstanding knowledge, integrity, and abilities. She is also a joy to work with; she is professional, efficient, patient…and so nice! I would never consider changing realtors…and I hope many others will work with her for their property sale or purchase!"

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.
