Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at BB Appraisals, LLC., will be 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 an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At BB Appraisals, LLC., we're qualified in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from BB Appraisals, LLC. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. BB Appraisals, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
