For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to 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 potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete 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. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 is below 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 qualified in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Sioux county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Preferred Partners is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Preferred Partners can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
