Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Fitzgerald Appraisal Partners 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 selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

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. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Fitzgerald Appraisal Partners, we're veterans in helping customers just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Fitzgerald Appraisal Partners is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Fitzgerald Appraisal Partners can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
