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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Haenig Appraisals, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you 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 your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Haenig Appraisals, we're seasoned in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Haenig Appraisals is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Haenig Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Haenig Appraisals can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
