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

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

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

That's where LHC Appraisals comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will intrigue buyers. An expert appraisal from LHC Appraisals can:

• Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
• Impress buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
• Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
• Decrease the chances of unexpected dilemmas that cause the process to deteriorate
• Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
