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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Sinclair Appraisal Service, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Sinclair Appraisal Service is veterans in helping folks just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.
