A word of caution from Eric J:

People really need to fully understand the value of their homes before they move forward with this. I have heard of people getting their taxes increased after a market analysis was completed.

Great advice Eric! Thanks!

 

Good luck!!! Should you need a market analysis, the agent you purchased your home from, I am sure can provide you with "comps" and or a market analysis. We provide them free as a courtesy to our clients here at The Property Network :)
