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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Carolina Appraisal Professionals, LLC. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're seasoned in helping folks just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Carolina Appraisal Professionals, LLC. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow point of view. Carolina Appraisal Professionals, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Carolina Appraisal Professionals, LLC. can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
