Why Checking Your Home Equity in Rochester & the Finger Lakes Matters header image.

When’s the last time you checked your home equity? For many homeowners in Rochester, Monroe County, Ontario County, and the Finger Lakes region, the answer is “not recently.” Yet equity plays a key role in your financial picture—and it’s about more than just selling your home.

 

Knowing your equity can help you:

 

Make sure your insurance coverage truly reflects your home’s value.

Unlock options like a home equity line of credit (great for renovations or college tuition).

Eliminate PMI and reduce your monthly expenses.

Gain peace of mind about your largest investment.

 

Some people check their bank account daily—but your home is likely your biggest asset. Isn’t it time to check in on it too?

 

Contact The Friend Team today for a free equity check—personalized to Rochester and the Finger Lakes market.
