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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Levi D Niendorf PA will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 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. We're experienced in helping folks just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Pinellas county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are probably paying 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. An expert appraisal from Levi D Niendorf PA is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint. Levi D Niendorf PA can help you reinstate your HELOC.
