Do swimming pools increase home values?

With temperatures set to approach summer highs, you’re thinking that a swimming pool could be the answer to staving off a household mutiny. Swimming pools are nice to enjoy but can be a hassle to own. Home buyers often view swimming pools as expensive to maintain and sometimes dangerous. In-ground pools can cost anywhere from $30,000 to more than $100,000—that's a significant amount of money to try to recoup when a house is sold. Put one in for your pleasure, but know that it’s unlikely to add significant value to your home and might even make it harder to sell. Here’s a list of home improvements that are sure to add value to your home.

Hayes was highly recommended by a family member. Knew he had a high work ethic and would be diligent to find what we needed Hayes was extremely patient with accommodating the little things I wanted and also with the fact that I was very narrow as to location Hayes was extremely helpful during the whole process and has reached out to us after the move to see if everything was okay with our property

My wife, Mary, and I had stopped in the NEW Weaverville office days before it officially opened. We were referred to the North Asheville office. Fortunately, the initial contact was with Hayes Martin. We had contacted 3 different brokers with offices in Weaverville and proceeded to interview all 3 in order to choose our broker. Hayes Martin was extremely professional, well-prepared, conducted preliminary research prior to meeting with us, and had full confidence in the value we placed on our home. Despite the unexpected speed of the sale, Hayes keep us informed and relaxed. He checked in with us even when there was nothing specifically to advise us. Excellent service and attentiveness. No real contact with the North Asheville office except an initial phone call to Hayes Martin. Glad we used Beverly Hanks but really glad that Hayes Martin answered our initial call. Hayes deserves a larger share of the broker's fee for his efforts on this quick sale.
