For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at High Touch Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. 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 buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting 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 amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're qualified in helping homeowners just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from High Touch Appraisal Service is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow angle, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. High Touch Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from High Touch Appraisal Service can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
