For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Susana Totaro, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, 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 accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Susana Totaro, we're veterans in helping people just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Miami-Dade county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Susana Totaro is your perfect weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Susana Totaro can help you reinstate your HELOC.
