For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Witmer Appraisal, LLC, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable money saver 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 a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're veterans in helping homeowners just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. 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. An expert appraisal from Witmer Appraisal, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint. An efficient appraisal from Witmer Appraisal, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
