Q: I was wondering what kinds of information you could offer, or if there is a place to get at least three opinions on the value of our home. We live in Gas City, Indiana. We are thinking of moving to Mississippi. We have a 2 story 3 br 2 bath, shed and 2 car garage. It sits on 2 lots in town.

A: Dear Indiana Seller,
I recommend getting a professional appraisal from an appraiser. It will provide you with the ultimate determination of value and it will cost around $300. You can also use the appraisal as a marketing tool by sharing it with potential buyers to show that your home is priced correctly.
Additionally, at no cost, you can interview 2 or 3 Realtors and request they prepare a CMA (comparative market analysis) for you. A CMA is a Realtor?s determination of the value your house based on the current market conditions.
I hope this is helpful,

A: My advice would be to ask 2 local Real Estate Agents for a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) and Market Saturation Data ? theoretically their answers should be close. The third opinion should be from an Appraiser. I reccommend an FHA Appraisal because it will hold the value of your home over the next six months. The first 2 should come at no charge, the third will cost somewhere between $300-500. Typically, if you use the same company that was used when you bought the house, you can get a discount. Clearly, I cannot promise they will offer a discount, but some do (so ask). Good luck! El
