Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Precision Valuations will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Precision Valuations, we're qualified in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Fairbanks North Star county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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 from Precision Valuations is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender might just choose 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 disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Precision Valuations can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
