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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Nittany Residential Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested 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.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Nittany Residential Appraisals is veterans in helping people just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are going to pay 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 things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from Nittany Residential Appraisals is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Nittany Residential Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
