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. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value assessment than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

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 the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Aguillard Dupre Appraisal Services, LLC., we're seasoned in helping clients just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Saint Landry county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a region that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. 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. An appraisal from Aguillard Dupre Appraisal Services, LLC. is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Aguillard Dupre Appraisal Services, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
