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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Steve Ettien Appraisals, LLC. 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property'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 home and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experts in helping folks just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.
