Getting an appraisal from Janet MacRae (508) 832-6322 before putting your Worcester County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
