Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal Evaluation Technical Services, Inc..

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you have invested in 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. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.
