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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at RSDS, LLC., will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from RSDS, LLC. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow standpoint. RSDS, LLC. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
