Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Arizona Valleywide Appraisals, LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete 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 house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Arizona Valleywide Appraisals, LLC, we're experts in helping consumers just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Maricopa county's assessment of your property

If you live in a local area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely 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 things like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Arizona Valleywide Appraisals, LLC is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Arizona Valleywide Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Arizona Valleywide Appraisals, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a rush, we'll 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? Arizona Valleywide Appraisals, LLC can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
