Getting an appraisal from Lewis Appraisal Services, Llc. before putting your Lane County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
