Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Blythe Appraisal are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping customers just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Lee county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from Blythe Appraisal is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Blythe Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
