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 Arrowhead Appraisal Services, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Arrowhead Appraisal Services, LLC, we're veterans in helping customers just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Arrowhead Appraisal Services, LLC is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender just might 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 annoying from a cash flow angle, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Arrowhead Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Arrowhead Appraisal Services, LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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 report you may have had done before. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
