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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at 4K Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At 4K Appraisals, we're experts in helping folks just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from 4K Appraisals is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide 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. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from 4K Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
