We at Desert Sky Appraisers understand the particular needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. Our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and the usual "products" we deliver to them. But as a general consumer,we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an 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. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential 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 judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Desert Sky Appraisers is seasoned in helping consumers just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is declining. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Desert Sky Appraisers is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune 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. Desert Sky Appraisers can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.
