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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Koepsel Appraisal Services, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Koepsel Appraisal Services, LLC is veterans in helping people just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Koepsel Appraisal Services, LLC is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Koepsel Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
