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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Phoenix Valuations, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Phoenix Valuations, LLC is experts in helping consumers just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal report from Phoenix Valuations, LLC is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender may decide 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 inopportune from a cash flow angle, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Phoenix Valuations, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
