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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Slawson Appraisal Services, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable 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 gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount 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 Slawson Appraisal Services, we're experts in helping clients just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal report from Slawson Appraisal Services is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Slawson Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? An appraiser from Slawson Appraisal Services can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Slawson Appraisal Services can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
