If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.
