Tip # 5 The roof.....the condition of a roof with one of the first things buyers will notice and appraisers will assess. Missing, curled or faded shingles will add nothing to the look or value of your home. some tired roofs can look dramatically improved simply with a good cleaning , professional cleaning is recommended. If you choose not to repair or replace your roof the appraiser more than likely will mark down the value by the cost of the expected repair.
