Getting an appraisal from Burke's Appraisals before putting your Washoe 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.
