Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping people just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from ABC Appraisals is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle. ABC Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
