For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

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

Challenge Marathon county's assessment of your property

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from Phillips Valuation and Consulting, LLC is your chief weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Phillips Valuation and Consulting, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
