For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and 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 much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping customers just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a region that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal report from Altitude Appraisal is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Altitude Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
