We at Skyline Appraisal understand the unique needs of a customer looking for appraisal services.

Being a consumer that probably doesn't look at appraisals every day, you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Skyline Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's market value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Skyline Appraisal is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. We are seasoned in helping people just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be annoying from a cash flow point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Skyline Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have an expert double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Skyline Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Skyline Appraisal can help you with that. Although most review work is commissioned by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe a prior appraisal wasn't above board are wise to get a second opinion.
