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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Elite Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Elite Appraisal Services is veterans in helping clients just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Elite Appraisal Services is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to 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. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Elite Appraisal Services can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
