Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at O.N.C.E. 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. 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 your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At O.N.C.E. Appraisals, LLC., we're seasoned in helping customers just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Appraisals, LLC. is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
