Getting an appraisal from Kent Taylor & Associates before putting your Montgomery 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 in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.
