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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping people just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Gilpin county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home 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 earlier you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal report from Valuations Incorporated is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Valuations Incorporated can help you reinstate your HELOC.
