We at McBride Appraisal Services understand the individual needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at McBride Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping customers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Weber county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from McBride Appraisal Services is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender may make the decision 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 angle, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. McBride Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? McBride Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide 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. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
