For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Ogden Valley Appraisals, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that 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. Appraisals to remove PMIGetting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan 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. At Ogden Valley Appraisals, we're experienced in helping people just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Getting an appraisal report from Ogden Valley Appraisals is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
