For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping clients just like you delete unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Silver Bow county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier 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 Carpino Valuation Services, LLC is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Carpino Valuation Services, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
