Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Greenaway Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

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 every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to give you.
