Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Adkins Appraisals.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays 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 understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get.
