Getting an appraisal from Alwen Appraisal before putting your Purcellville home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and 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 local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.
