What Your Home Is Worth, From Someone Who Looks at It in Person

What your home is worth, from someone who looks at it in person.

An Online Estimate Cannot See Your House

An automated estimate cannot see your kitchen, your roof, your basement or your street. It also cannot tell the difference between two homes on the same block that look the same on paper. That is why the number on a website and the number a buyer will pay can be far apart.

I am Rich Barnes, a licensed broker with Realty Experts, with 25+ years in the business and hundreds of homes sold in the Milwaukee area.

How I Work Out a Number

I look at the home in person. Then I compare it with recent sales of similar homes, and I tell you what I see and why. In this area, the neighborhood matters as much as the house, and a home on the southwest side of Milwaukee is not always a useful comparison for one across town. So I compare homes in similar neighborhoods with similar characteristics.

If you decide to sell, every home I list gets a pre-listing inspection, so you know what a buyer will find before a buyer finds it. If you decide not to sell, you still know where you stand. There is no pressure either way.

Home Value Across the Towns I Serve

Homes differ a lot between towns. See what I look at in Greenfield, West Allis, Milwaukee, Franklin, New Berlin and Muskego.
