Getting an appraisal before putting your home on the market saves you time and money.
Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.
It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.
