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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get 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 down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Valstar Appraisal Company, LLC., we're seasoned in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Valstar Appraisal Company, LLC. is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender might make the decision 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 angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Valstar Appraisal Company, LLC. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
