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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It's 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 your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get 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 less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Bradshaw Appraisal is experienced in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Salt Lake county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Bradshaw Appraisal is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is near a declining area, your lender may just 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 harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow angle. Bradshaw Appraisal can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
