For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Bennett Appraisal Services, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the 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. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, 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 Bennett Appraisal Services, LLC, we're veterans in helping people just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Bennett Appraisal Services, LLC is your #1 weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Bennett Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
