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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your 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. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's 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. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. a la mode is qualified in helping folks just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from a la mode is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from a la mode can help you reinstate your HELOC.
