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 Cronin & Cronin Law Firm PLLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a 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's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping homeowners just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Nassau county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Cronin & Cronin Law Firm PLLC is your best weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Cronin & Cronin Law Firm PLLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Would you like a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency?
