Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraisal Services of Koscuisko Co. Inc., will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping customers just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Appraisal Services of Koscuisko Co. Inc. is your perfect weapon.

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 property is in a declining area. This can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Services of Koscuisko Co. Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Appraisal Services of Koscuisko Co. Inc. can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
