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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely 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 price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Stefan Geyer is veterans in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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 expert appraisal from Stefan Geyer is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow standpoint. Stefan Geyer can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
