Getting an appraisal from The Moulton Group before putting your Cumberland County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
