For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Western Trend Appraisal Group, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much 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 experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.Challenge property tax assessmentsYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This only means you're paying 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Western Trend Appraisal Group is your best weapon.Need to cancel PMI?Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled 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 home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Western Trend Appraisal Group, we're experienced in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.HELOC recently frozen?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Western Trend Appraisal Group can help you reinstate your HELOC.Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesDo you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Western Trend Appraisal Group offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before.
