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. Our professional appraisers at Robert R. Nieling & Associates, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive 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 is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping customers just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal from Robert R. Nieling & Associates, Inc. is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Robert R. Nieling & Associates, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
