At Marc Anthony Gizzi Appraisal & Consulting, we understand the unique needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Marc Anthony Gizzi Appraisal & Consulting, 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 price to sell at so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled 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 the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you do away with unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Lee county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. A professional appraisal from Marc Anthony Gizzi Appraisal & Consulting is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Marc Anthony Gizzi Appraisal & Consulting can help you reinstate your HELOC.
