For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Brady Appraisal Services, will be objective. We'll 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 an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping people just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker 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. An appraisal from Brady Appraisal Services is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Brady Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.
