Getting an appraisal from Steve Houston Appraisals, Inc before putting your Marietta home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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 practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You could be focused on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to pay.
