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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at River City Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experts in helping clients just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Miller county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from River City Appraisals, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. River City Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
