Appraisal services for home sellers - Gene Egan

Getting an appraisal from Gene Egan before putting your Cortland County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.
