For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Hiland Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important 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 many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much you think your home 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 accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're seasoned in helping clients just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Hiland Appraisals, LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle. An efficient appraisal from Hiland Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
