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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Allegheny Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled 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 house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster 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 appraisal from Allegheny Appraisal is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property 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 harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow point of view. Allegheny Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
