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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Escambia county's assessment of your property

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This 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 a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Gulf Coast Real Appraisals LLC is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Gulf Coast Real Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
