Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Gold Weight Appraisal, we're experienced in helping clients just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're probably 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. An appraisal report from Gold Weight Appraisal is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow angle. Gold Weight Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it immediately, 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.

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