Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Premier Appraisal are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Premier Appraisal is seasoned in helping homeowners just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Premier Appraisal is your chief weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Premier Appraisal can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
