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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Logos Valuations, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, 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. We are experienced in helping people just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Logos Valuations is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow angle. Logos Valuations can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Logos Valuations offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it immediately, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
