Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Rose Street Appraisal will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.
