Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from D. O'Kane and Company, LLC.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. A home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.
