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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Horizon Appraisal Services, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home, 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 Horizon Appraisal Services, LLC, we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Horizon Appraisal Services, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Horizon Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide 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 with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
