Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at MCB Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable 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. 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. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. MCB Appraisals LLC is qualified in helping consumers just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Lee county's assessment of your property

If you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from MCB Appraisals LLC is your best weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. MCB Appraisals LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
