Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Sagebrush Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money 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 is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Salt Lake county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal report from Sagebrush Appraisal is your #1 weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow viewpoint. Sagebrush Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.
