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 Advanced Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get 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 property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Advanced Appraisals is veterans in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Grayson county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Advanced Appraisals is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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 property is close to a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Advanced Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
