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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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 removed from your loan. At Zetrouer Appraisal LLC, we're qualified in helping customers just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Charleston county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Zetrouer Appraisal LLC is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Zetrouer Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
