For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Terri L. Gleason, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property 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 you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Terri L. Gleason is qualified in helping folks just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Lincoln county's assessment of your property

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from Terri L. Gleason is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Terri L. Gleason can help you reinstate your HELOC.
