For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Carolina Market Value, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Carolina Market Value, LLC is veterans in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Carolina Market Value, LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Carolina Market Value, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
