Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from City Realty, Inc.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. A home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.
