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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. 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 property will 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 on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

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

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your home will bring in buyers. A polished appraisal from LHC Appraisals can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unknown headaches that can cause your sale to fizzle
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

LHC Appraisals will step in and help make these important decisions. LHC Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in the amount your home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
