Selling your home in or near Anne Arundel County? Contact Sandra LeBlanc and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
