Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

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

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of MA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent.

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought.
