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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Edward H. Eadie & Associates will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Edward H. Eadie & Associates, we're veterans in helping consumers just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

If you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Edward H. Eadie & Associates is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow standpoint. Edward H. Eadie & Associates can help you reinstate your HELOC.
