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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. 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 an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to pay.
