Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Anstaff Bank, are 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That 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 things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal from Anstaff Bank is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Anstaff Bank can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.
