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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experts in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Davis county's assessment of your property

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from (801) 671-3600 is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle. (801) 671-3600 can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for verity or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from (801) 671-3600 can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? (801) 671-3600 can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
