For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at SoCal Home Appraiser, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and 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 far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 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. SoCal Home Appraiser is experts in helping consumers just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Ventura county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you're probably paying 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. Getting an appraisal from SoCal Home Appraiser is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint. A professional appraisal from SoCal Home Appraiser can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
