Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Inlet Appraisal 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 the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only worth what another person is willing to pay.
