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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Colby Dunagan Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get 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 your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Colby Dunagan Appraisals LLC, we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal report from Colby Dunagan Appraisals LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Colby Dunagan Appraisals LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
