Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Monroe Owen Appraisal, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.
