For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services
It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it.
The professional appraisers at Kirkpatrick Appraisals 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers.
It gives you something tangible to show your buyer.
The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market 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 more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value opinion than yours.
Challenge Muskogee County's assessment of your property
If you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued.
This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying.
Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be.
An expert appraisal from Kirkpatrick Appraisals is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
Need to remove PMI?
Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut costs for homeowners.
Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down.
We're seasoned in helping consumers just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.
Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?
Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area.
Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out.
A professional appraisal from Kirkpatrick Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.
We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services
Would you prefer a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire an expert to double-check your appraisal for precision?
An appraiser from Kirkpatrick Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review.
Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.
We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past.
Although most review work is requested by lenders, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to invest in a second opinion.
