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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, 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 important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting 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 home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping customers just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Surry county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That means you're 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 a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Massey Appraisal, Inc. is your #1 weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Massey Appraisal, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
