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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Timeline Appraisal Services, LLC will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial 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 many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete 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. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are experts in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Maricopa county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This only means you're most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Timeline Appraisal Services, LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in or near a declining area, your lender just might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Timeline Appraisal Services, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
