"I needed to sell a secondary residence on Capital Hill, Washington DC quickly. I previously used Marc Dosik, HelpUSell so I called him. He personally met with me the next day at the site of the property and displayed printed comps in the neighborhood. He collected necessary information, suggested a listing price and took photos. The next day he sent me the proposed multiple listing, via email, for review. He also requested that I show the house to a potential buyer, who had recently been lost out on a home purchase due to a bidding war. The buyer was interested and asked me what it would take to a sale agreement without activating the multiple listing. I referred the buyer back to Marc fully confident that Marc would look out for my best interest as the listing agent should. Marc called me back an hour after the buyer left the property. Marc suggested an "as is" contract for $50,000 over the listing price. I agreed and I signed the contract on his lap top the next day. He gave me a .5 percent break as the finding agent.
I knew that the property had to appraise at or above the sale price and I spent the next four weeks getting the property in shape with necessary improvements and installations. The property was appraised on target and we closed the sale the following week.
All-in-all a excellent service well worth the money.

"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!"

"I used Mr. Murphy services three times and each time I was very satisfied. Below are the reasons why I definitely would utilize his service again and refer him to others.
· He was dependable, very professional and courteous.
· He arrived on time.
· He had all of the up to date equipment needed to perform his duties.
· The home inspection report was very in-depth; it gave great insight into all aspects of the home. The pictures were very professional.
· He is very knowledgeable in his field.
· He explained things in layman?s term.
It?s hard to find great service like this anymore. I would not by another house until it goes through Mr. Murphy inspection. You probably need to charge more. Thanks again.

"Trustworthy and does good work."
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.
