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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Yawn Appraisal Services LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a 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. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Yawn Appraisal Services LLC, we're experts in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Leon county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Yawn Appraisal Services LLC is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint. Yawn Appraisal Services LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
