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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house'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 more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Lang Appraisal Service, LLC-Thane Wahl is seasoned in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Lang Appraisal Service, LLC-Thane Wahl is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Lang Appraisal Service, LLC-Thane Wahl can help you reinstate your HELOC.

If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Lang Appraisal Service, LLC-Thane Wahl can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
