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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Jennings A, will be objective. We 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 an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Jennings A is seasoned in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Jennings A is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property 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 difficult from a cash flow standpoint. Jennings A can help you reinstate your HELOC.
