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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at First Source Appraisals INC 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 property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting 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 down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At First Source Appraisals INC, we're seasoned in helping consumers just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from First Source Appraisals INC is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow point of view. An expert appraisal from First Source Appraisals INC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
