Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Spencer Appraisal Services, Inc.So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell.

Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.
