For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An 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 know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred money saver 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 is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At NEFL Appraisal Group, we're experts in helping clients just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Duval county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. That only means you are probably paying 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 NEFL Appraisal Group is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to 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. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. NEFL Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.
