For Sale By Owner/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 Sanderson Appraisals, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to cut expenses 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 is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are qualified in helping folks just like you dismiss unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Sanderson Appraisals is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Sanderson Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
