For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your own home, 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 house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much you think 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 a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.Challenging a property tax assessmentLet's say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are 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 from Zaloom Appraisal Associates, Ltd. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.Appraisals to cancel PMIA preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get 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 house. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Zaloom Appraisal Associates, Ltd., we're experts in helping consumers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.Was your 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 home is close to a declining area.

Zaloom Appraisal Associates, Ltd. can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesDo you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
