For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Portsmouth City county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Hassler Real Estate Appraisals, LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. An efficient appraisal from Hassler Real Estate Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
