Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Maffeo-Kelly Appraisal Co., LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Maffeo-Kelly Appraisal Co., LLC is seasoned in helping customers just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That 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 things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Maffeo-Kelly Appraisal Co., LLC is your #1 weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Maffeo-Kelly Appraisal Co., LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
