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 Luxemburger Appraisals, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Luxemburger Appraisals is qualified in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Fulton county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from Luxemburger Appraisals is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Luxemburger Appraisals can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
