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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Ron Wulff Residential Appraiser: Fax 530-550-5281 are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house 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 value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume 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.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping clients just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. 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 faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Ron Wulff Residential Appraiser: Fax 530-550-5281 is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow point of view. Ron Wulff Residential Appraiser: Fax 530-550-5281 can help you reinstate your HELOC.
