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. The professional appraisers at Appraisal Assoc. of Teller County will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Appraisal Assoc. of Teller County is qualified in helping customers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are 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 a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from Appraisal Assoc. of Teller County is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Assoc. of Teller County can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.
