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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at PT Appraisal Services, LLC 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 buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is 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. We are seasoned in helping consumers just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that's going down. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker 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. Getting an appraisal from PT Appraisal Services, LLC is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from PT Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from PT Appraisal Services, LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While usually requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
