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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Piotrowski Appraisal LLC, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Piotrowski Appraisal LLC, we're qualified in helping folks just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Piotrowski Appraisal LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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