For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC is qualified in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Hillsborough county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're 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 things like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity? Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
