Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Real Value Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months.
