At Carolynn Ulrich, we understand the special needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services. Our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and the customary documents we provide. But as a consumer,we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we document our findings. For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your 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. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours. Need to cancel PMI?PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're experienced in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unnecessary PMI insurance. Challenging San Mateo county's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Carolynn Ulrich is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment. Was your HELOC recently frozen?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Carolynn Ulrich can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal. We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesDo you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files. Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Carolynn Ulrich can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house. |
