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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Turner Appraisal LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Turner Appraisal LLC, we're experienced in helping homeowners just like you do away with unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Turner Appraisal LLC is your perfect weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Turner Appraisal LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer 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 desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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 desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
