Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)
It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at MetroWest Appraisals, will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a 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 interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.
Appraisals to remove PMI
Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At MetroWest Appraisals,, we're experts in helping homeowners just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.
Challenge a property tax assessment
Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from MetroWest Appraisals, is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
HELOC recently frozen?
Your lender may just 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 be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow angle. MetroWest Appraisals, can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?
Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? MetroWest Appraisals, offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps.
