It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Village Appraisal Ltd., will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A preferred way to save money 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're veterans in helping clients just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Fairfield county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Village Appraisal Ltd. is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender just may make the decision 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 annoying from a cash flow viewpoint. An efficient appraisal from Village Appraisal Ltd. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
