For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and 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 home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours. Appraisals to remove PMIAn attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting 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 down below 80% of the value of your home, 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. At Northeast Florida Appraisal Services, LLC, we're seasoned in helping clients just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance. Challenge a property tax assessmentYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. That means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Northeast Florida Appraisal Services, LLC is your best weapon.
