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. The professional appraisers at Mountainside Appraisal, LLC 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 a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred way to save money 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Mountainside Appraisal, LLC, we're experienced in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Mountainside Appraisal, LLC is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Mountainside Appraisal, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a rush, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Mountainside Appraisal, LLC can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
