Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Farrell Realty Advisors will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a 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 tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal from Farrell Realty Advisors is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow point of view. An efficient appraisal from Farrell Realty Advisors can help you reinstate your HELOC.
