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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Bakuretsu, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 is 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 seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Bakuretsu is your number one weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Bakuretsu can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
