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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Reitzler Appraisal Services, are objective. We'll 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 house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are qualified in helping people just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a region that is going down or not appreciating as much as other properties close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Reitzler Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Reitzler Appraisal Services can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a professional double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. Or, if you're in a rush, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
