For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at MJP Appraisal Group are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours. Need to cancel PMI?A popular way to cut costs 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 below 80% of the value of your home, 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 qualified in helping homeowners just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.
