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. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. KC MetroVal LLC is experienced in helping folks just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from KC MetroVal LLC is your strongest weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. 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. KC MetroVal LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
