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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Presidio Valuations will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Presidio Valuations, we're experts in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Presidio Valuations is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Presidio Valuations can help you reinstate your HELOC.
