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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Yahara Appraisals LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive way to cut costs 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 is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Yahara Appraisals LLC, we're experienced in helping consumers just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Dane county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner 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 expert appraisal from Yahara Appraisals LLC is your strongest weapon when contesting 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 in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Yahara Appraisals LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
