For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

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

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping folks just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Douglas county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Metro Appraisal is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Metro Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
