For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Meitzen, LLC. , will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Meitzen, LLC. , we're experts in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Meitzen, LLC. is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Meitzen, LLC. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have an expert double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Meitzen, LLC. 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
