Getting an appraisal from Wascher Appraisal before putting your Buchanan County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.
