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. 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 an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is to get 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 is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Tipton Appraisal Services is experienced in helping customers just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Tipton Appraisal Services is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

A professional appraisal from Tipton Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.
