3. Consider Online Listing Services
Online sites, like Zillow and Realtor.com, create algorithms that essentially gather data from past, comparable sales and derive a “guesstimate” for your house. This is a ballpark number that merely crunches numbers. Zillow doesn’t know how your house will show or that your bathroom tile is to die for — details that will affect the value of your home. This is why online estimates should be one more factor to consider, not the last word on price. We have access to over 100 online sites to get your property exposed!

If you’re stumped on what your home is worth, throw some money at the problem and hire an appraiser. For a fee, an appraiser will view your property, pull comparables, take pictures, and offer an opinion of what your building is worth. An appraiser can often see things that can add or subtract value. Ultimately, an appraiser will weigh in on the value of your home. When a buyer emerges, his lender will send an appraiser to make sure the property is worth at least its mortgage. 5.
