For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at BTR Appraisal Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're qualified in helping clients just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from BTR Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. An appraisal from BTR Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? BTR Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide 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? BTR Appraisal Services can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
