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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Wiley's Appraisal Service, LLC., are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important 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 buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Wiley's Appraisal Service, LLC., we're veterans in helping people just like you delete unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Wiley's Appraisal Service, LLC. is your number one 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 choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Wiley's Appraisal Service, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
