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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Prime Real Estate Appraisals LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house'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 a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping homeowners just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Prime Real Estate Appraisals LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Prime Real Estate Appraisals LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
