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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Cashman Appraisal, Inc, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 eliminated from your loan. Cashman Appraisal, Inc is veterans in helping clients just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Orleans county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Cashman Appraisal, Inc is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in a declining area, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. Cashman Appraisal, Inc can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
