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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Fidelity Appraisals, LLC, are 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 home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. 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 your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're veterans in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier 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 expert appraisal from Fidelity Appraisals, LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow angle. Fidelity Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
