Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Renskers, Inc..

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.
