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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to 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 selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experienced in helping customers just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Elkhart county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Kevin C. Plank dba Allied Appraisal is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Kevin C. Plank dba Allied Appraisal can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
