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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to 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 likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're qualified in helping homeowners just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Brett Burrows Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
