What's My Darien CT Home Value?

How are testimonials helpful with knowing your home value?


“The experience with Debra was like entering into business with a perfect partner. My wife and I were impressed by her knowledge of the market, the geographical area and her understanding of what we were looking for and could afford.”

Darien CT Homes for Sale


When a REALTOR is on top of her game, she always aims for what will rightfully make her clients happy. This is what I’ve done in the past with my clients and this is the mission I’ll continue to do.

The first step towards deciding if selling your home is the right thing to do is to know your Darien CT home value. Once you’re armed with the right market knowledge and the right real estate agent by your side, you are ready to counter offer your buyers when your home is listed for sale.

How are the other homes for sale in Darien CT doing?


You should be updated with the other homes for sale in your area and how they’re doing on the market. For example, if you have a 3-bedroom, 3 full-bathroom property with a pool in your patio, you should check the recently sold price of a home with the same characteristics.
There are myriad of Home Value Estimators online. You can use the one that’s referred by a friend, one with a lot of great reviews from users or this can be the right time to talk directly to an experienced REALTORⓇ.  

Why do you need to seek advice from an experienced REALTORⓇ?

The number one job of a REALTORⓇ is to sell your home for the best price. It’s vital to listen and trust your REALTORⓇ. After all, they have experience selling homes in your local area and have a higher level of knowledge with realistic market pricing so it can be sold within an equitable timeframe.
Call me, Debbie Laemmerhirt, at 203-994-4297 and let’s make sure we avoid the loopholes in knowing the true value of your home.
Appraising the true value of your home can be very tricky. Going online helps but it can only do so much. You need an actual person, preferably someone who has lived in the area long enough to know the ropes.

What else can you do to increase the value of your home?

Whether you are thinking about selling your home for future reference or you need to do it immediately, you need to prepare your home physically. This is the part where you have full control on the outcome.
Make the home available. Many sellers avoid showings, if is not convenient. The best time to do this is on weekends and during the evening throughout the week.
Often, when a buyer has been declined, many times they will not reschedule. The showing that you are refusing, for example, could be the one who can write a reasonable offer.
The only way that you can be ready for showing is when your home has the confidence to show itself.  
Think of repainting. Painting may not cost you that much. It can also help you transform your home value. A successful real estate agent once told me to avoid white as it tends to make things look sterile. You may want to save white for the trim molding.

Let me help you prepare and market your home in the best ways possible. Call me today!

Another million dollar question is how to increase the worth of your house without breaking your budget?

Whether you’ve already made up your mind or still planning to sell your home, the subject of pricing your property accurately can seem like a very difficult process. There is a lot of information to sift through and you might feel a little confused.

The immediate thing most sellers do to find out their value is go online since it’s the fastest and easiest step.

But any estimate of home value that you see online whether this is an article written by someone or software asking you to key in your home features is just that – an estimate.

The only thing that makes a difference is when an expert sees and inspects your and helps you make sure that your home is ready to be put up for sale.

What are the steps that you can do to add value to your home in Lake Lillinonah?

Here are a two examples:

  • Weakening roofs, termite invasion or outdated electrical systems, you can't fix it if you don't know it's broken. Hire an inspector to check out the areas that you don't normally see. They may discover unseen problems that could negatively impact your home's value.

  • Clean up your lawn. Overgrown lawns and outsized bushes will cause your home to stand out but not in a good way. The good news is that refining your jungle is an easy fix. Your curb appeal will go from messy to impressive without killing your budget.

The answer is the same across the board: the kitchen! It’s always the kitchen!


  • Make small changes like switching out your door handles .
  • Change the paint. It sounds simple but it always works. You need to know the latest trends when it comes to which color best suits your home style. Brighten up the color, no buyer wants to enter house and find a dark or depressive kitchen!
  • Make sure your electric plug covers match the wall color.
  • Switch to stainless steel, the sleek look of steel is always a hot ticket items for buyers.
  • Make your kitchen look like a chef lives there! Hanging pot racks look great as long as your pots look shiny and clean.
  • Add a kitchen island for more storage.

What's My Lake Zoar Home Value?

The value of your property:  



Most of us do not realize the importance of knowing the value of our homes until we need it. You may want to sell your home or simply know how much equity you have. I’m glad you’ve come to the right place.


It’s our duty to protect one of our biggest investments, especially if your home is located in Lake Zoar, a beautiful location with rich history.  


If you are seeing yourself selling your home in the calculable future, one of the first steps that you can do is to contact a knowledgeable REALTORⓇ in your area, like myself, to help you find out about proper timing and the best estimates.


You may visit my website https://homesinconnecticutforsale.com/ to see how other sellers prepare their homes for showing.   


Experience fishing and share a sumptuous meal in the comfort of your new home on Lake Zoar.


How will you know if you’re accurately pricing your Lake Zoar home?



No one can truly estimate your house unless an expert inspects it. When I work for you, I’ll make sure you get qualified buyers who have already done comparable property sales to know which is the best deal and which is overpriced.


We’ll make it a point that they fall in love when they see your home.


One thing that is most overlooked in determining home value is where we get our information from:



  1. There are a myriad of softwares nowadays that offer an analysis of your property. They ask for your current and after repair value. There are other softwares that include your stress market value.
  2. Perhaps, they will ask you to enter your property’s characteristics. How many garages do you have, how old is your home, how huge is your lot, what kind of landscaping do you have, has your roof been repainted in the last two years, etc.?
  3. I’m not saying these are not helpful but these softwares can only do so much. You need an actual, experienced real estate agent in Lake Zoar area who knows exactly what’s going on in the real estate marketplace to give you an accurate value.

Wake up to the sound of peace and contentment when you choose one of the homes on Lake Zoar.


Here’s what I bring to the table:



  1. An assurance that there will be a constant research on your home, market and estate values so your Lake Zoar home is priced effectively from day one. I will also make sure the public knows your home is for sale by using innovative marketing techniques to attract potential buyers.
  2. The home selling and buying process will be explained to you thoroughly.
  3. I will negotiate on your behalf and will track the closing process. Starting and ending with a bang is something I keep in mind.
  4. Having lived in Connecticut for 35 years, I have proven marketing techniques that will leave nothing to chance.

A picturesque place on Lake Zoar where you no longer desire to go anywhere else. It’s so heavenly!



These are just few of the things I can offer. If you call 203-994-4297, we can start discussing your home and how you want it to be sold.



If you noticed, I have only focused on the values of getting the right REALTORⓇ because it all starts there. It is an important decision because we are talking about one of the valuable assets of your life.


I have been in the business for 35 years that is why I know what works best for each seller, or buyer for that matter.  I have my own expert service and support called Your Home Group. You will be working with real estate masters.


Call me today, Deborah Laemmerhirt, let me show you what I can do for you!
