Getting an appraisal from Home Real Estate & Appraisals, Inc. before putting your Pleasanton 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought.
