Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from James Earp Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.
