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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much 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 estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping clients just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from JB Appraisals LLC is your perfect 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 make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. JB Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
