For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Robert A. Krupitzer will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important 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 buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Robert A. Krupitzer is seasoned in helping folks just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Robert A. Krupitzer is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Robert A. Krupitzer can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Robert A. Krupitzer can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
