Pre-listing Services/For Sale by OwnerIt's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Tatham Appraisal Services, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and 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 expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.Challenging property tax assessmentsYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Tatham Appraisal Services, Inc. is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.PMI Removal AppraisalsGetting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping consumers just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.HELOC recently frozen?Your lender may just choose 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 be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow point of view. A professional appraisal from Tatham Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property. |
