For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at SUMMIT APPRAISAL SERVICES, LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver 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 a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from SUMMIT APPRAISAL SERVICES, LLC is your number one weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from SUMMIT APPRAISAL SERVICES, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? SUMMIT APPRAISAL SERVICES, LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you're in a hurry, 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.
