Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Direct Appraisals.

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

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
