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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Lynn M Brown LLC, are objective. We'll 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is to get 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 house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Lynn M Brown LLC, we're seasoned in helping clients just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Outagamie county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Lynn M Brown LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to 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. Lynn M Brown LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
