Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Sheppard Appraisal Services.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

  • Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months.
