Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Needs Appraisals.

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's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the 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.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.
