For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own 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 very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experienced in helping people just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Santa Rosa county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things 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 Seither & Associates Appraisal Group is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Seither & Associates Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
