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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Louisiana Certified Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home'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 more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experienced in helping consumers just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Louisiana Certified Appraisals LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow angle, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Louisiana Certified Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.
