Knowing what your home is worth before you decide to sell is a must, and there are many ways for you to find out including websites that will provide you with the information for a fee.

But why pay anything when the best and most accurate way of establishing the market value of your home is by contacting a Real Estate agent or broker. Just make sure that the agent or broker you contact has plenty of experience in today’s Real Estate market.

The agent should be well versed in how foreclosures and short sale pricing in your neighborhood affects the market value of your home, and make a thorough inspection of your home before giving you a market valuation.

Some of the best things in life are truly free, but you must know where and how to find them.
