For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at East Central Appraisals LLC, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's market value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.Challenge Tax AssessmentIf you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from East Central Appraisals LLC is your #1 weapon.Need to cancel PMI?A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting 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 is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?Your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. East Central Appraisals LLC can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
