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 pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.
