Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.
