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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at AbbiWes Real Estate Appraisals 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. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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 qualified in helping homeowners just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from AbbiWes Real Estate Appraisals is your number one weapon.

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 home is near a declining area. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. AbbiWes Real Estate Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
