Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from California Certified Appraisers will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

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