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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Travis Klundt 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 price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 Travis Klundt, we're experts in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Travis Klundt is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Travis Klundt can help you reinstate your HELOC.
