For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at IA Appraisal LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At IA Appraisal LLC, we're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from IA Appraisal LLC is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow viewpoint. IA Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
