Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner (FSBO)It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Visser Appraisals, Ltd. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a 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. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.Challenging property tax assessmentsLet's say you live in a region that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued.

A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments.

We're experienced in helping clients just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.HELOC recently frozen?If your house is close to a declining area, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value.
