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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Stillman Appraisals, LLC, will be objective. We'll 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 an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled 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 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. At Stillman Appraisals, LLC, we're veterans in helping folks just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Greenville county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal report from Stillman Appraisals, LLC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Stillman Appraisals, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? An appraiser from Stillman Appraisals, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
