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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Kendall Cooper, will be 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting 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 is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. 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 sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Kendall Cooper is your number one weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Kendall Cooper can help you reinstate your HELOC.
