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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses 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". 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 are experts in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from King Real Estate Services Inc. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. King Real Estate Services Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
