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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at 417 Appraisal Company, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're veterans in helping customers just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from 417 Appraisal Company, Inc. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow point of view. 417 Appraisal Company, Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
