At Burton Valuation, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. Our regular business clients are used to the appraisal process and the customary documents we provide. But as a general consumer,we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we present our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Burton Valuation 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping consumers just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down. This only 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 quicker you take care of things like this, the better. An appraisal report from Burton Valuation is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your home is close to a declining area, your lender may just make the decision 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 difficult from a cash flow point of view, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Burton Valuation can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Burton Valuation offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you need it immediately, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
