Robert E Headrick, SRA, SCRP
Bob is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a B. S. in Economics. He began his career with a Chicago real estate appraisal firm, founding Robert E. Headrick & Assoc, Inc. in 1982. As a Certified General Appraiser with the State of Illinois, he has specialized in single-family residential detached and attached homes, multi-family units and vacant land for relocation, lending, estate, litigation and private appraisal and valuation consulting assignments. In addition, he is recognized as an expert witness in the area of real estate having been retained as an expert by many individuals, law firms and government agencies in district and federal courts.
Your Real Estate Value
Your real estate investment is one, if not the single largest investment you have or will make. While there are a multitude of on-line sources and individuals alluding to the ability to estimate the value of real estate, few have the ability to develop an objective and unbiased opinion of value based on an expert analysis. Better, faster, and cheaper seldom are a mix that combine to develop a reliable appraisal. Quality takes time. Valuation products have evolved allowing the ability to waive the appraisal or offer alternative "desktop" or "exterior/drive-by" appraisals, saving money and time but sacrificing the most accurate appraisal with an "interior” appraisal inspection. Robert E. Headrick & Associates is one of the most respected appraisal companies providing appraisals for relocation, lenders, attorneys, and homeowners throughout the Chicago Metro Area.
The Appraisal Process
Appraisals are required a variety of valuation needs including:
- Corporate Relocation develops an Anticipated Sale Price based on a specific defined marketing period
- Market Value develops a current estimate of value
- Estate Value develops an estimate of value based on a retrospective date
- Litigation uses for an appraisal can vary widely depending on the clients' needs and include matrimonial dissolution, partial interest takings, and easements
