Getting an appraisal from Monroe Owen Appraisal, Inc. before putting your Monroe County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

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