For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Chester Neve 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 house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable money saver 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, 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 people just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're 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 Chester Neve is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult 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. Chester Neve can help you reinstate your HELOC.
