Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard 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 the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
