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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money 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 get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.
