For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Jace Long Appraisals 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours. Need to remove PMI?A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping consumers just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.
