For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since 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 an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Leavitt Appraisals is your chief weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just make the decision 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 this be annoying 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. Leavitt Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
