Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Chase Appraisals, are objective. We will 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 house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Chase Appraisals is qualified in helping clients just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging Bucks county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Chase Appraisals is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. Chase Appraisals can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
