When I was looking to sell my previous house the market was in turmoil and I didn't have a good idea of what the price should be so I called an appraisal company to ask what they would appraise it for and they refused. Their job is to basically rubber stamp whatever the realtor gives them to appease the bank. At the most they'll check a couple of comps in the area to make sure it's not totally out of whack.
