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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Farid Rangchi will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're seasoned in helping folks just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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 appraisal from Farid Rangchi is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Farid Rangchi can help you reinstate your HELOC.
