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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at NT Appraising LLC, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive money saver 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". Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house, 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. We are experienced in helping customers just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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 an expert appraisal from NT Appraising LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender may just make the decision 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 negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from NT Appraising LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? NT Appraising LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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 you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
