We at Turner Appraisal Company understand the special needs of a customer in need of appraisal services. Our regular business clients get the appraisal process and the usual reporting formats. As our client, we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Turner Appraisal Company are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping folks just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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. An appraisal report from Turner Appraisal Company is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender just 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 inopportune from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Turner Appraisal Company can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Turner Appraisal Company can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Turner Appraisal Company can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
