Shawn responded quickly to my request for a pro. He was able to handle an appraisal for me with very quick turnaround. His report was very thorough and exactly what I needed.

I reached out to Shawn with RGI to request a presale appraisal on a house that I am preparing to put on the market. It was a more complexed appraisal due to some unique features of the home but Shawn was able to produce a very detailed report that I feel will definitely assist me in pricing my home correctly for a quick sale. His experience as an appraiser and a realtor allowed him to offer both perspectives when providing information during the process. I would definitely recommend RGI for your next appraisal.

The RGI team was great to work with. Shared very detailed info on the the appraisal process and current housing market. Shawn was already knowledgeable about the floorplan of the house and the neighborhood. I would use the service again as well as recommend to others.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on the type and complexity of the assignment. There are no set prices for an appraisal assignment and when buying home, that'll be dependent on the market and what’s negotiated.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with customers it is important to have open and clear communication. We use voice, email or text to communicate the details related to the job. Once we have a clear understanding of what we are being hired for, we set a convenient time to come out to inspect the property for condition and gather pertinent information required to prepare a detailed report for the assignment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 23 years as an Appraiser and 19 years as a REALTOR/Agent in which I have completed a minimum of 14 hours of Continuing Education over that time period. I also have a Masters in Business Administration, which gives me an added advantage to help individuals and businesses make sound business decisions. In my experience, I have worked in conjunction with agencies charged with ensuring banks and financial institutions uphold sound business practices as it relates to home loans and honest lending practices.
