Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Todd McDonald will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.
