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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. 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 a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete 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 home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Orange county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's declining or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Greater Orlando Appraisal Assoc., Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
