We at Miller Appraisals understand the special needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Miller Appraisals are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's market value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.Challenging Sandusky County's assessment of your propertyLet's say your home is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Miller Appraisals is your chief weapon.PMI Removal AppraisalsA preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Miller Appraisals, we're experts in helping consumers just like you rid yourselves of unwanted PMI insurance.Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?If your house is in a declining area, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value.

A professional appraisal from Miller Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesHave you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have an expert double-check it for precision or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
