Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Browning Appraisal.

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 studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You could be focused on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is going to pay.
