At Hillman Appraisal, LLC, we understand the individual needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Hillman Appraisal, LLC, are objective. We 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 property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Hillman Appraisal, LLC, we're seasoned in helping folks just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier 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. Getting an appraisal from Hillman Appraisal, LLC is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender may just 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 difficult from a cash flow angle, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Hillman Appraisal, LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish 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 accuracy? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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? Hillman Appraisal, LLC can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
