If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.
