If you’re selling your home in Jasper, you might as well prepare for the appraisal now. Even if you’re short on cash, there are things you can do to help the appraisal see your home as in good condition rather than average or poor condition. The first thing you will need to do is to inspect the home yourself. Really look at each room top to bottom and even walk around outside your home too. What do you see that needs fixing? If you can afford to fix it, fix it!
