Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from R Rick Goodwin.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp 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, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

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

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 realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
