WHY DO I NEED AN APPRAISAL?
Purchasing a home is the most serious investment many of us may ever encounter. Whether it's a primary residence, an additional vacation home, or a rental fixer-upper, purchasing real property is a detailed transaction that requires multiple people working in concert to make it all happen.
Who makes sure the purchase price of the real estate is consistent with the market value? This is where the appraiser comes in. We provide an unbiased opinion of what a buyer might expect to pay - or a seller receive - for a property, where both buyer and seller are informed parties. A licensed, certified, professional appraiser from Holmes Appraisal Services will ensure that you, as an interested party, are informed.

TESTIMONIALS
Aiming to Please
Mr. Holmes was professional, thorough and quick. He provided our almost 50 page appraisal two days before scheduled delivery and he even contacted me via telephone the day of the appraisal just to touch base. The photos he provided were better than the MLS photos. The information he gave us was beyond what we expected and it is extremely helpful to us. I would recommend Mr. Holmes to all of my friends and family.

Mark Holmes was very polite, honest and professional. We are getting Mama's house ready to sell. I wanted a current "as is" value on the house. That way we would know if the offers were enough. His attitude was great, and he was encouraging. I did not tell him what our offers are. I am very happy with the results, and I highly recommend Mark Holmes!

Mark Holmes came out and handled our appraisal - and from start to finish, he was top notch and beyond professional. He made sure to explain everything to my husband and I, in terminology that we would understand (seeing how we are not real estate professionals!) Mark was fantastic...and I have and will continue...to recommend him to all of my friends, family, and neighbors.

The owner is a wonderful, charismatic man who carefully and considerately explained how he calculated our home for an appraisal. The process is extremely detailed and Mark mad it seem very easy. He was quick, professional, and provided excellent service!

We hired Mark to get a second opinion when we list our house with a realtor. She did a market analysis on our house and gave us a really low figure to list on the market. When we received the appraisal back, Mark took time to explain everything so that we could understand. The appraisal price on our house was much higher than my realtor price. We showed the realtor the appraisal and we list our house base on the appraisal price. My house was sold within two weeks on the market. I would use Mark again and recommend him to all my friends and family.
