Putting a house on the market in or near Wake County? Contact Peak Appreasing and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is going to pay.
