Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Moeller Appraisal Services, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Moeller Appraisal Services, Inc. is qualified in helping clients just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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 appraisal report from Moeller Appraisal Services, Inc. is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Moeller Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
