For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, 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. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think 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 a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Tara Wing, we're experienced in helping people just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Tara Wing is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow angle. Tara Wing can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Tara Wing offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
