Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Goodfellow Appraisal Co. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Goodfellow Appraisal Co. is experts in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Goodfellow Appraisal Co. is your #1 weapon.

An appraisal from Goodfellow Appraisal Co. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
