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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Violet Valuations, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A fashionable way to cut expenses 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 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 Violet Valuations, we're experts in helping customers just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Brevard county's assessment of your property

If you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Violet Valuations is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow point of view. A professional appraisal from Violet Valuations can help you reinstate your HELOC.
