Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Property Valuation, LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable way to cut expenses 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". 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 qualified in helping folks just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Saint Louis county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. This only means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster 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 appraisal report from Property Valuation, LLC is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Property Valuation, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
