Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Joy Newton are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel 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 amount is 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. Joy Newton is qualified in helping homeowners just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Joy Newton is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow standpoint. An efficient appraisal from Joy Newton can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have an expert double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Joy Newton can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide 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 report? Joy Newton can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
