Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Alan Sullivan & Associates, LLC.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.
