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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Brian Burton Appraisals LLC, 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 many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Brian Burton Appraisals LLC, we're experienced in helping customers just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Brian Burton Appraisals LLC is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Brian Burton Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
