For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at A-Z Residential Appraisals 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 price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. A-Z Residential Appraisals is veterans in helping people just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying.

Getting an appraisal from A-Z Residential Appraisals is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

A-Z Residential Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
