For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / 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 MVP APPRAISALS, INC, are 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are experts in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from MVP APPRAISALS, INC is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. MVP APPRAISALS, INC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
