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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at CRS Appraisals, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're veterans in helping consumers just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Kitsap county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 expert appraisal from CRS Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. CRS Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
