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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Wahl Appraisal Service will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. 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 a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experts in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Wahl Appraisal Service is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow point of view. Wahl Appraisal Service can provide you with an expert appraisal that will 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 verity, or do you want a second opinion without the added 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. 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Wahl Appraisal Service can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
