Residential Appraisals in Annapolis, MD

Annapolis is the capital of Maryland and the county seat of Anne Arundel County, situated on the Chesapeake Bay. Richardson Appraisal Services prepares residential appraisals here for owners, buyers, estate representatives, attorneys, and lenders, with attention to the city's mix of historic and waterfront neighborhoods and newer suburban development.

Assignments are handled by our Senior Appraiser, Gregory Richardson, a Certified Residential Appraiser with over 20 years of experience.

An appraisal forms a defensible opinion of a property's market value by considering the real estate itself, the assignment's purpose and intended users, and relevant market evidence such as recent comparable sales. The scope of work, effective date, and intended use shape how that evidence is developed and reported, so two appraisals of the same home can differ when the purpose differs. , our Senior Appraiser / Founder, is a Certified Residential Appraiser with over 20 years of experience in the region.

Annapolis's history as a colonial capital and port means a portion of its housing reflects earlier construction, so comparable selection for older homes can require attention to era, original construction, and any updates or restorations, since a renovated historic home and an unrestored one may differ markedly.

The city also includes newer residential construction and waterfront properties, so age, construction era, and water orientation can vary between nearby sales and may warrant closer review. A historic designation is an objective fact about a property, not itself a measure of its value.
