Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Cardinal Real Estate.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to pay.
