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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Tidal Marsh Appraisal LLC, 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Tidal Marsh Appraisal LLC, we're veterans in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Tidal Marsh Appraisal LLC 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 might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. An appraisal from Tidal Marsh Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
