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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An 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 home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 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. We're experienced in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Tight & Right Real Estate Valuation can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
