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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Appraisal Connection will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested 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 house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Appraisal Connection, we're veterans in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Appraisal Connection is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender might just decide 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 inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Connection can help you reinstate your HELOC.
