We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer

  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
