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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Carolina Appraisals, Inc., are objective. We'll 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 home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Carolina Appraisals, Inc. is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Carolina Appraisals, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
