Selling your home in or near Jefferson County? Contact PAR Appraisal Services and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.
