Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Mathews Appraisal, Inc will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's market value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested 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 estimation than yours.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. The earlier 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 a professional appraisal from Mathews Appraisal, Inc is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated 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 less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Mathews Appraisal, Inc, we're seasoned in helping clients just like you rid themselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area. This can be destructive 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 viewpoint. Mathews Appraisal, Inc can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision?
