We at Southeast Appraisal Services understand the individual needs of a customer after appraisal services.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Southeast Appraisal Services, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours. Appraisals to remove PMIA fashionable 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 amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping clients just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance. Challenge property tax assessmentsYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This means you are 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. A professional appraisal from Southeast Appraisal Services is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment. Was your HELOC recently frozen?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Southeast Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.
