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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at V Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This means you are probably paying 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. Getting an expert appraisal from V Appraisals is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender might just choose 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 difficult from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from V Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
