Selling your home in or near Tangipahoa County? Contact Joseph Mier & Associates and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 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 understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.
