Pre-listing Services/For Sale By OwnerSince you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Alexander Appraisals, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours. PMI Removal AppraisalsPMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Alexander Appraisals, we're experienced in helping people just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance. Challenge a property tax assessmentIf you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Alexander Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment. HELOC recently frozen?Your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. Alexander Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
