Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

You're probably focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.
