For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at TyCar Properties will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At TyCar Properties, we're experienced in helping clients just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Cook county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from TyCar Properties is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. TyCar Properties can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
