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. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Tri County Real Estate, we're experienced in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Tri County Real Estate is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. 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. Tri County Real Estate can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned expert double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, 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? Tri County Real Estate can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
