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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Springs Appraisals Inc will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable 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 interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much you think 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 cancel PMI

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping people just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging El Paso county's assessment of your property

If you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Springs Appraisals Inc is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Springs Appraisals Inc can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Springs Appraisals Inc can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it immediately, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Springs Appraisals Inc can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
