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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at C. A. Klemme, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much you think 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 an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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. C. A. Klemme is veterans in helping consumers just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are most likely 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 a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from C. A. Klemme is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near 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. This can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. C. A. Klemme can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
