Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Sea Breeze Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Sea Breeze Appraisals LLC, we're experts in helping folks just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Sarasota county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Sea Breeze Appraisals LLC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Sea Breeze Appraisals LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
