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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Lida Korolyshyn are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed 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 down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Lida Korolyshyn is seasoned in helping consumers just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Lida Korolyshyn is your perfect weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Lida Korolyshyn can help you reinstate your HELOC.
