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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Scolastico Appraisals, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove 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". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, 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. Scolastico Appraisals, LLC is experts in helping customers just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That means you're paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Scolastico Appraisals, LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Scolastico Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
