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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Wheeler Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed 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 is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are veterans in helping customers just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Wheeler Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow angle. A professional appraisal from Wheeler Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Wheeler Appraisals offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
