Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Hill Appraisal Associates, LLC.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.
