We at Keene Appraisals LLC understand the particular needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Keene Appraisals LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're veterans in helping consumers just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Alachua county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. A professional appraisal from Keene Appraisals LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune 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. Keene Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
