For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Collard Appraisal Group, Inc., are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours. Appraisals to cancel PMIAn attractive 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Collard Appraisal Group, Inc., we're experts in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.
