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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Accurate Appraisals of Manasota Inc. (941) 374-6195, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested 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 you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down 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 removed from your loan. We are experts in helping customers just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Accurate Appraisals of Manasota Inc. (941) 374-6195 is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. An expert appraisal from Accurate Appraisals of Manasota Inc. (941) 374-6195 can help you reinstate your HELOC.
