For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Wilson Appraisal (402) 475-3030 will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, 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. At Wilson Appraisal (402) 475-3030, we're experienced in helping customers just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This 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 faster you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Wilson Appraisal (402) 475-3030 is your chief weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Wilson Appraisal (402) 475-3030 can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
