Selling your home in or near Lafayette County? Contact Bonnet Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.
