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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Safeguard Valuation Services Inc. 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, 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 are veterans in helping customers just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That means you are going to pay 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. An appraisal report from Safeguard Valuation Services Inc. is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can be be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Safeguard Valuation Services Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it immediately, we'll 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. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
