Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from LHC Appraisals.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, 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 a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get an expert listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sales in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where LHC Appraisals comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

LHC Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to blow away buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unknown disputes that can cause sales to deteriorate
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
