We at Putman Real Estate Services understand the individual needs of a consumer after appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants. Being a regular homeowner that probably doesn't look at appraisals on a regular basis,you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Putman Real Estate Services are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion 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 home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping people just like you do away with unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Putman Real Estate Services is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow standpoint, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Putman Real Estate Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? An appraiser from Putman Real Estate Services can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Putman Real Estate Services can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
