For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Kellner Appraisal Services, Inc are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping people just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Kellner Appraisal Services, Inc is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Kellner Appraisal Services, Inc can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Kellner Appraisal Services, Inc can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you need it immediately, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. While usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
