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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Randall Walker are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Randall Walker is experienced in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Barry county's assessment of your property

This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Randall Walker is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
