Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Quality Appraisal, LLC. (319) 531-0690 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Quality Appraisal, LLC. (319) 531-0690, we're experts in helping folks just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Quality Appraisal, LLC. (319) 531-0690 is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint. Quality Appraisal, LLC. (319) 531-0690 can help you reinstate your HELOC.
