Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract interested buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.
