For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your 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 a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- 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 a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down 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 removed from your loan. At Saxton Appraisals, Inc., we're veterans in helping customers just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. Getting an appraisal report from Saxton Appraisals, Inc. is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might just choose 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 unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Saxton Appraisals, Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
