Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Christopher Calzavara will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
