Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Boaz Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested 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 report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Boaz Appraisal Services, we're qualified in helping consumers just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you're paying 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 a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Boaz Appraisal Services is your best weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. Boaz Appraisal Services can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
