For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours. PMI Removal AppraisalsPMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular 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 amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, 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 veterans in helping clients just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance. Challenge a property tax assessmentLets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Colorado Market Appraisal LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment. Was your HELOC recently frozen?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area.

Colorado Market Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
