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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Accuracy Matters Appraisals, we're experienced in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an expert appraisal from Accuracy Matters Appraisals is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accuracy Matters Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
