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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Affiliated Real Estate Appraisers, are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping customers just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

If you own real property in the City of St. Louis, you already know that assessed values can increase dramatically—sometimes without reflecting current market realities or your property’s true condition. A professional real estate appraisal is one of the most effective tools available to challenge an excessive assessment and potentially reduce your property tax burden.
