Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Koller Appraisals, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting 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 less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping customers just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Koller Appraisals, LLC is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Koller Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Koller Appraisals, LLC can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
