Howard County homeowners, attorneys, and estates count on Lamb Realty Services, LLC for impartial residential appraisals. We have been appraising central Maryland property since 2007, and we know how Howard County's planned villages, historic districts, and rural western areas each behave differently.
Where We Work in Howard County
• Columbia: the planned villages, with townhomes, condominiums, and single-family homes
• Ellicott City: historic Old Ellicott City as well as larger suburban subdivisions
• Elkridge and North Laurel: homes along the US-1 and I-95 corridors
• Clarksville and Fulton: newer, larger homes in the southern county
• Glenwood, Woodbine, and Marriottsville: western county homes on acreage and rural land
Columbia villages, historic properties, and rural parcels each require their own comparable sales and adjustments. We document these choices clearly in every report.
How a Howard County Appraisal Works
1. Contact us to explain the purpose, such as divorce, estate, pre-listing, or tax appeal.
2. Inspection: we visit the property and note its size, condition, updates, and features.
3. Research: we analyze recent comparable sales and local market trends.
4. Report: you receive a written, USPAP-compliant appraisal, usually within 5 business days of the inspection.
We are independent of buyers, sellers, and agents, and we never promise a particular value.
