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

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought.
