For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your 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 you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping folks just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Altizer Appraisals (520) 749-9557 is your #1 weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow standpoint. An expert appraisal from Altizer Appraisals (520) 749-9557 can help you reinstate your HELOC.
