For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Parkway Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping consumers just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Ashe county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Parkway Appraisals is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow viewpoint. Parkway Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
