GET THE RIGHT APPRAISAL BY TAKING THE PROPER STEPS Whether youʼre a buyer or a seller, getting an accurate appraisal of a homeʼs worth is critical before proceeding with a sale. When it comes to knowing the value of a purchase, your home is the bottom line.

FOR BUYERS:

In todayʼs market, lots of factors can contribute to an appraisal coming in lower than expected, some of which might include the lack of recent comparable home sales in the area, or using an appraiser from another town or region. Want to know if your home is being appraised properly?

FOR SELLERS:

 Ask your lender to find an appraiser that is from the county where you are buying.  Make sure that the appraiser has a residential appraisal certification and professional designation.  Meet with the appraiser beforehand and inform them of any factors that could have an impact on the appraisal.

 Get an appraisal before you list your home for sale. Use it, along with your real estate agent’s expertise to set the right price for your home.  See what similar houses are selling for or are valued at.  Maintain a file of all the improvements, upgrades made, and tax documents related to your house.  If you don’t like the appraisal, question it. Maybe there is some information you can provide or something that you can point out that the appraiser missed.

Also, if you’re selling your home, before you get an appraisal, do your best to make the most of your home’s features. Obviously, your home won’t transform form from a single-family to a palatial estate overnight, so some things in the appraisal (square footage, number of rooms, etc.) won’t change. But you can make sure that things are clean, everything in the house appears maintained and functional, and knock out any DIY projects you’ve been putting off. Following these tips will go a long way towards helping you get the appraisal you want.

Help Your Home Fight Back Against the

H EAT Summer is here, and the sun is out in full force. Just like your skin is susceptible to sun damage, so is your house. Make sure your home is protected by focusing on these four essential elements.

Creative Living 52 Digest.indd 6

3/24/19 12:36 PM


PAINT

ROOF

To make sure you get the most out of your exterior paint, choose a top-quality brand that will better withstand sun damage over time. Depending on how much direct sunlight you have on your home, tree borders are a good way to add shade to parts of your yard. This will add life to your paint job, and the trees will add more “life” to your lawn and landscaping.

The roof also absorbs the brunt of the sun’s power and can be the first to show sun damage. There’s not much you can do to avoid this, but if you inspect your roof closely each season, and make necessary repairs, you’ll stave off the damage.

DECKS WINDOWS Keep your cold AC inside and the summer heat outside by checking the caulking around your windows. You may also want to consider adding awnings to prevent heat from penetrating, or keeping the blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day. This will keep sunlight out and help cut down on that utility bill.

One of the top ways to protect your deck from summer heat, especially if your deck is made of wood, is by properly sealing it with a high quality, weatherproof, UV resistant sealer. The sealer will help your deck fight back against fading and warping. Another option might be installing a retractable deck awning, which you can pull over your space during the sunniest part of the midday heat. Or consider adding a sunroom instead of a deck, which gives you a more functional, year-round, space.
