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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Liz Holmes (310) 663-6690, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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. Liz Holmes (310) 663-6690 is veterans in helping folks just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Los Angeles county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Liz Holmes (310) 663-6690 is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Liz Holmes (310) 663-6690 can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
