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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraisal House LLC, are objective. We 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 property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are veterans in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Wayne county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Appraisal House LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision 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 unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. Appraisal House LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
