For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Rollins Appraisal Company are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will 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 a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping folks just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Rollins Appraisal Company is your best 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 choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint. Rollins Appraisal Company can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
