Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Kim Mooradian Irwin will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.
