Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer.

Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services is experts in helping customers just like you remove unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.
