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. The professional appraisers at Anderson Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are seasoned in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Anderson Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
