Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.
