For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Currie Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours. Need to cancel PMI?A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Currie Appraisal is qualified in helping consumers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.
