Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Nathaniel Hastings PLLC, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know 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.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Nathaniel Hastings PLLC is qualified in helping folks just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're 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 off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Nathaniel Hastings PLLC is your number one weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow point of view. Nathaniel Hastings PLLC can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
