Getting an appraisal from LeBourgeois Appraisals, LLC before putting your Tangipahoa County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Louisiana homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
