Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Real Value Group, LLC. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Real Value Group, LLC. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Real Value Group, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
