We at Williams Appraisal Team understand the special needs of a customer looking for appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and CPAs. As our non-traditionalclient, you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Williams Appraisal Team are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Williams Appraisal Team is seasoned in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. This only means you are probably paying 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. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Williams Appraisal Team is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Williams Appraisal Team can help you reinstate your HELOC.
