For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Tri-City Appraisers 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours. Appraisals to remove PMIAn 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 property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Tri-City Appraisers is experienced in helping homeowners just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance. Challenge property tax assessmentsIf you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued.

When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Tri-City Appraisers is your strongest weapon.
