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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Coastal Valuation & Realty, Inc will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying 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 an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Coastal Valuation & Realty, Inc, we're seasoned in helping customers just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Duval county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's declining. 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 sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Coastal Valuation & Realty, Inc is your strongest weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Coastal Valuation & Realty, Inc can help you reinstate your HELOC.
