We at Salt Lake Appraising Company understand the special needs of a consumer after appraisal services. Our usual business clients get the appraisal process and the standard documents we provide. But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we present our findings.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Salt Lake Appraising Company 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 interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Salt Lake Appraising Company, we're experienced in helping consumers just like you abolish undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Salt Lake Appraising Company is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Salt Lake Appraising Company can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned expert 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? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
