S2 Ep 3: Understanding Appraisals

Real Estate Mentor

Real estate transactions require an appraisal to assess the fair market value when you are selling a house. In this episode, Jonathan welcomes special guest Jason Ferris to dive into understanding appraisals so that you can maximize your return on investment. From the neighborhood to pools, to garages, and everything in between, Jason explains the things you need to take into consideration when remodeling your real estate property. Join us to hear the improvements that are game changers so that you can get the max resale value possible, as well as the areas that won't make a huge impact on your ROI.
