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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Trew Appraisal Services, Inc., are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential 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 estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping customers just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This 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, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Trew Appraisal Services, Inc. is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Trew Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
