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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.
