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 Pemberley Appraisal, will be objective. We'll 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 many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're veterans in helping customers just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal from Pemberley Appraisal is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Pemberley Appraisal can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
