Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Pennsylvania Property Services, Inc. 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 house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential 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 how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, 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. Pennsylvania Property Services, Inc. is veterans in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from Pennsylvania Property Services, Inc. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Pennsylvania Property Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
