Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Brown Properties 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 pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.
