For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to save money for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Filson's Real Estate Appraisal Services, Inc., we're experts in helping customers just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal report from Filson's Real Estate Appraisal Services, Inc. is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might 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. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Filson's Real Estate Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? Filson's Real Estate Appraisal Services, Inc. offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
