Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is 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. We're experts in helping folks just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're probably 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 off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Saxton Appraisals, Inc. is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Saxton Appraisals, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
