At Amy Beckstead, we understand the individual needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, lawyers, and accountants. Being a consumer that ordinarily doesn't see an appraisal on a regular basis,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report our findings.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services

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

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping people just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging Salt Lake county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Amy Beckstead is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

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

Do You Need 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 need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? An appraiser from Amy Beckstead 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.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
