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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at ValuStat Appraisal Services, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. 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 removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping folks just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. 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 sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal from ValuStat Appraisal Services, Inc. is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint. ValuStat Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
