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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Home Front Appraisal, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular 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 down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Home Front Appraisal is qualified in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Home Front Appraisal is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Home Front Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
