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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Tigerhawk Appraisals LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you 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 house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, 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. At Tigerhawk Appraisals LLC, we're veterans in helping consumers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster 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. Getting a professional appraisal from Tigerhawk Appraisals 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 may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be annoying from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Tigerhawk Appraisals LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
