How much should you ask for? Although you may have an idea of how much your house is worth, it’s important to have your home valued on its own merits by a professional.

Be careful not to price your property too high or too low. If it’s too high, there’s no sale; too low and you lose on your investment.

A REALTOR® has the information and expertise to assess at what prices similar properties in your area have sold, and may be able to help you in this regard. She can also provide information on market history, such as the number of properties sold in your community the previous month or year.
