Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Richard Rockwood.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out

So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected.
