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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.
