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 an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours. Appraisals to remove PMIPMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping folks just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance. Challenging property tax assessmentsYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This only means you are 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Gordon Appraisal Services is your chief weapon.

A professional appraisal from Gordon Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.
