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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Turley Appraisal Service, 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 selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenge Ada County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster 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. A professional appraisal from Turley Appraisal Service is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Turley Appraisal Service, we're experts in helping consumers just like you remove unneeded PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Turley Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you prefer a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? Turley Appraisal Service offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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.

We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. Even though most review work is requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe a prior appraisal wasn't above board are prudent to invest in a second opinion.
