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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your 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 very crucial as a 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 buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, 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. We're qualified in helping people just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Kenosha county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Simz Appraisal Services is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender just 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 troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Simz Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
