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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at TriCounty Appraisal, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know 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.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping people just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from TriCounty Appraisal is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow point of view, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. TriCounty Appraisal can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
