Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Nelsen Appraisal Services 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 property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Nelsen Appraisal Services, we're experts in helping consumers just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're 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 Nelsen Appraisal Services is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender might 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 be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint. Nelsen Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.
