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

Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.
