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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Abney Valuation Group, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Abney Valuation Group, we're veterans in helping consumers just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Harrison county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Abney Valuation Group is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Abney Valuation Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.
