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. 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 crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert 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. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are seasoned in helping customers just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Old Pueblo Appraisals is your number one weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Old Pueblo Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
