For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel 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 the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Mark Frederick Residential Appraisals, LLC., we're seasoned in helping customers just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Hillsborough county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Mark Frederick Residential Appraisals, LLC. is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender 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 disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Mark Frederick Residential Appraisals, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
