Getting an appraisal from Tyler Newton & Associates before putting your Muskegon home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to pay.
