Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Susan Scotto Allison will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in 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 practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
