Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Rachel Bradshaw.

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 the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more AR homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
