For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Blankenship Appraisals LLC, we're veterans in helping customers just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Tallapoosa county's assessment of your property
