For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.Challenging Sumter County's assessment of your propertyLet's say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued.

Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Folsom Appraisal Service, LLC is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.Need to cancel PMI?An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 canceled from your loan. We are seasoned in helping folks just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area.
