Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's market value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenge Laramie County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. Getting an expert appraisal from Steamboat Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

An attractive way to cut expenses 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 is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be troublesome from a cash flow angle, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Steamboat Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Steamboat Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can 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 retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. Although most appraisal reviews are commissioned by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are prudent to invest in a second opinion.
