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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Wear Appraisers will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping homeowners just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Douglas county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's going down. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Wear Appraisers is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Wear Appraisers can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
