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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Preston King Appraisal Company will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important 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 interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled 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 house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Preston King Appraisal Company is experts in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Preston King Appraisal Company is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender just might 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 inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Preston King Appraisal Company can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
