Pre-listing Services/For Sale By OwnerSince you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential 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 assessment than yours. Need to remove PMI?A fashionable way to save money 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 down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Greater Houston Appraisals is veterans in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.
