For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Millie Leopard, will be objective. We 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Millie Leopard, we're veterans in helping homeowners just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Larimer county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Millie Leopard is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender may 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 detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. An efficient appraisal from Millie Leopard can help you reinstate your HELOC.
