When selling your home, you want to receive the highest price and the best possible terms, that is only natural and logical.

If there are not a multitude properties like yours up for sale, then you are not vying for buyers in the same market. You may be surprised to learn that the ultimate sale price of a home can be completely different than its assessed value for tax purposes.
