Professional appraisers, like the ones at Bay Area Appraisal Services Inc., are objective. We 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 home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer.

Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.Challenge property tax assessmentsLet's say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued.

When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Bay Area Appraisal Services Inc. is your chief weapon.Need to cancel PMI?A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments.

In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value.
