For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Laughlin & Company, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours. Need to remove PMI?PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping people just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance. Challenging Douglas county's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Laughlin & Company, LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment. Was your HELOC recently frozen?Your lender just may choose 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 difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Laughlin & Company, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
