Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Berry REALTORS.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally.
