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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Salt Lake Appraising Company will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. 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 your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Salt Lake Appraising Company is experienced in helping customers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Salt Lake county's assessment of your property

If you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Salt Lake Appraising Company is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Salt Lake Appraising Company can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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? Salt Lake Appraising Company can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
