I would never pay $10,000 for refrigerator. I don’t want it to have all the bells and whistles. I don’t need a refrigerator that spies on me. I want an old time refrigerator that does nothing but cool food
Check for asbestos and underground tanks, load-bearing walls. Under bathrooms and kitchens for water leaks. Hire a good home inspection for new and existing construction.
Jack, great video. People have to beware of shady contractors all the time. Don't release any money to a contractor until you see a physical permit put up outside your house. Homework, homework, homework is the key to not getting burned on some of these jobs. Always get at least three bids along with a list of referrals. Everyone should know that you have to have a permit for anything electrical, plumbing, hvac, and structural. Not so much for cosmetic work.
I was always told that any property that is attached to the house is considered part of the house. Like a ceiling fan, it's attached with wires and bolts.
Converting a smaller square footage 3 BR 2 Bath house to 2/2 makes sense to me, an older single man. I rather have fewer but larger rooms including a larger kitchen and utility room. I suspect that with an aging population and more singles, the appraisal industry will adjust to fewer bedrooms.
U r right! Try to buy the cheapest house in the neighborhood is the most common advice. A lot of realtors have given me so it will bring the value up to your home.
Agree. I renovated my house in New Jersey and it was under sold. I left behind a brand new hardwired security system, new windows, new microwave and dishwasher all newly painted. The house should’ve sold for about $25,000 more.
This thing is, after the appraisal including the fridge with the price of the house the seller could then sell the fridge and the appraisal would stay the same.
Thank you for the great video. Could you make another video and comment on things like exterior paint, interior paint, landscaping, sheds and pole barns etc. As to whether or not those things add value to a home.
Cute Clemson chair. Go Tigers! As a remodeling contractor I do not take any jobs unless the customer puts up a deposit. It’s just good business for both parties to have some skin in the game as the project goes along.
Make sure that any tradesman that you contract with has the proper liability and workers compensation insurance or exemption, otherwise, any damages or injuries which occur on your property may fall back on you and your insurance, meaning, if you make a claim, your insurance company drops you. Don't take the contractor's word for it. Ask him or her to have their insurance agent send you a certificate of insurance naming you as the beneficiary.
I would recommend doing what you want (color of tile, carpet, etc) if you are not going to sell within five to ten years because so much in the fashion world changes. Remember ugly gold faucets and fixtures (and they are coming back for some reason)? Enjoy what you want because I have lived in many different states and owned houses in several and we always waited until we were going to sell and then did the stuff to sell it and then wondered why we didn't do it so we could have enjoyed it. With our current house (which we plan to live in for a long time), we are doing the things we want to enjoy. When we decide to sell it in five to ten years, we will worry about changing anything we have to.
Would love to hear your experience with diving boards also limiting the number of insurance companies that will even insure a house with a pool having one.
I changed a very small bedroom into a luxury bath because we thought we were there for good. We'll, life happened, and we ended up needing to move and sell. My question now is whether I should divide the giant bedroom into two - each with an en suite - or keep as is to save the cost of building the dividing wall. Any opinions? Maybe it comes down to whether we can find an affordable contractor willing to do such a small job. Hmm.
No a fridge is not a part of the house appraisal. I've never heard of that and would be silly to value the price of a house and include things like the fridge. You could turn around after the appraisal and sell the fridge for all he knows.

Amen. God bless you ❤
I made it clear on my listing that the appliances are as is and a gift. They work, are clean and will last way longer than any new ones

In Italy, sellers not only remove the kitchen appliances, but all the cabinets too! 😂

I LOVE my outdoor kitchen, pool, and we live out there. The expense was for us to enjoy
Your always better off selling those high end appliances yourself and getting a fair price than leaving them and not getting any credit for them..
Appliances are personal property and are uniform across appraisals. Not a bad appraiser.

In ground pools start at $100k in central Florida now and that's without a cage/lanai

Thank you for sharing!
I think they should be included in price if they are being left.

I agree with the appraiser.

I say build the wall. 2 bedrooms with an ensuite is better than one weirdly large bedroom.
Talk to us about buying the home owner insurance claim started by the previous owner as a negotiated part of the deal.
Or when you have feet of snow on your roof

I have renovated and flipped about 25 houses. This is a pretty good list.
You've seen a house fall on somebody's head?
I ended up selling my backyard swingset before I ever considered listing my house for sale.
I want that contractor in the shorts, 🩳 with the umbrella chair and iPad, he looks legit! 🤗
