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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, 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. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Ru Appraisals, LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
