If you are selling your home with OR without a real estate agent you should get an appraisal before you decide on the selling price. I remember a retired couple that set their selling price based on the agent's analysis. Their home sold in three days! When the appraisal came in it was $20,000 above the selling price. An upfront appraisal will protect your equity and be well worth the cost.
