Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Property Service Group Southeast, Inc. (865)544-4242, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Property Service Group Southeast, Inc. (865)544-4242, we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker 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 an appraisal report from Property Service Group Southeast, Inc. (865)544-4242 is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Property Service Group Southeast, Inc. (865)544-4242 can help you reinstate your HELOC.
