For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an 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 crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are qualified in helping consumers just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal report from Metro One Appraisals Inc is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Metro One Appraisals Inc can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
