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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping clients just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge San Bernardino county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. A professional appraisal from John D. Stamper (909) 496-6439 is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow angle. A professional appraisal from John D. Stamper (909) 496-6439 can help you reinstate your HELOC.
