Pre-listing Services/For Sale By OwnerSince 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 price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours. Appraisals to cancel PMIPMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, 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. At WD Brinson & Associates, we're qualified in helping consumers just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance. Challenge property tax assessmentsLets say you live in a region that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued.

Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal from WD Brinson & Associates is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
