For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, 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 important 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 interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Mau Realty Inc. is veterans in helping folks just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Mau Realty Inc. is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow angle. Mau Realty Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned expert double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
