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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Full Tilt Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed 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 less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Full Tilt Appraisals, LLC, we're qualified in helping people just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are most likely 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. An expert appraisal from Full Tilt Appraisals, LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is close to a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Full Tilt Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a seasoned expert double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Full Tilt Appraisals, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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 in the past. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
