For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Williams Appraisal Co., are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested 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. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Williams Appraisal Co. is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?
