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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Holthouse Appraisal Group are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, 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. At Holthouse Appraisal Group, we're seasoned in helping consumers just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Holthouse Appraisal Group is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might just 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 this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Holthouse Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.
