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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to 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 crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are seasoned in helping clients just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close by. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Jerry M. Dixon, Appraiser is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow point of view, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Jerry M. Dixon, Appraiser can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you need it immediately, we'll 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? We can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
