An appraiser can appraise your property for current market value and which may assist you with a listing price.  Remember just getting an offer is just one hurdle.  If the buyers need a loan and the property does not appraise the deal could fall through.  Contact the appraisers at www.socalappraisalserv.com for assistance in valuation of your home.
