Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner (FSBO)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 home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just 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 experienced appraiser's value report than yours. Appraisals to remove PMIPMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house, 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 do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Getting an expert appraisal from Home Value Source, Inc. is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
