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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping people just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Edelen Appraisals, LLC is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Edelen Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
