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 spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.
