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. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know 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.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Uintah county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker 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 Walt Creek Appraisal Group is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow standpoint. Walt Creek Appraisal Group can provide you with an expert appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
