For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to 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 selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Heartland Appraisals, LLC. is experienced in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. An appraisal report from Heartland Appraisals, LLC. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might just 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 damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Heartland Appraisals, LLC. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you need a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you need it ASAP, 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? We can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
