Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Bruce A. Harris Appraisers, Inc..

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.
