For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.Challenging Mohave County's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other houses close by. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Arizona Desert Appraisal is your perfect weapon.Need to remove PMI?A popular way to save money 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 amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are experienced in helping customers just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.Was your HELOC recently frozen?If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Arizona Desert Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?

Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide you with a 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?
