For-Sale-by-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Tyler Newton & Associates will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Tyler Newton & Associates is your strongest weapon.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Tyler Newton & Associates is seasoned in helping people just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Tyler Newton & Associates can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comps 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? We can assist you. While typically requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
