Putting a house on the market in or near San Bernardino County? Contact Rachel Lyntton (909) 730-0612 and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
