Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Bolinger Appraisal.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.
