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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at , 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 price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At , we're qualified in helping consumers just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Horry county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you're 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 appraisal report from is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender may decide 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 difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from can help you reinstate your HELOC.
