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

Since 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 Yahara Appraisals LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred way to cut costs 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're qualified in helping folks just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal report from Yahara Appraisals LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender might make the decision 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 troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Yahara Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
