We at MountainView Appraisal understand the unique needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and accountants. As our non-traditionalclient, we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we document the results of our analysis.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at MountainView Appraisal, 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 price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive money saver 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At MountainView Appraisal, we're seasoned in helping folks just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from MountainView Appraisal is your perfect weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint. MountainView Appraisal can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
