Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Coleman Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

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 the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.
