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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Wentworth RE Appraisal Services, LLC, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value judgement than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Wentworth RE Appraisal Services, LLC, we're experienced in helping clients just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Wentworth RE Appraisal Services, LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender might just 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 troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Wentworth RE Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Wentworth RE Appraisal Services, LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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.
