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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals is qualified in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Oakland county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
