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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Stahla Appraisal, Inc. is seasoned in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's declining or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 Stahla Appraisal, Inc. is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Stahla Appraisal, Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
