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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Klamath Appraisal LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled 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 house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Klamath Appraisal LLC, we're veterans in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Klamath county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Klamath Appraisal LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Klamath Appraisal LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
