Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Streamline Appraisals/Tim Taylor Realty will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your 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 that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Streamline Appraisals/Tim Taylor Realty, we're experienced in helping customers just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This only means you're 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. A professional appraisal from Streamline Appraisals/Tim Taylor Realty is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Streamline Appraisals/Tim Taylor Realty can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
