For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at McLeod Appraisal Company will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. 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 how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Let's say you live in a local area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from McLeod Appraisal Company is your perfect weapon.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. 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 canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. McLeod Appraisal Company is qualified in helping people just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

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 be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. McLeod Appraisal Company can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have an expert double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? McLeod Appraisal Company offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide 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? We can help with that too. Although most appraisal reviews are commissioned by lenders, homeowners suspecting a prior appraisal wasn't above board are wise to invest in a second opinion.
