For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At ValuTrust Solutions, Inc., we're experts in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from ValuTrust Solutions, Inc. is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. ValuTrust Solutions, Inc. can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
