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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at TBD Appraisal are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are veterans in helping clients just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Marquette county's assessment of your property

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from TBD Appraisal is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from TBD Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
