For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home'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 more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is 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. ExcelAppraise is experts in helping people just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from ExcelAppraise is your strongest weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender might just make the decision 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 point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from ExcelAppraise can help you reinstate your HELOC.
