For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Boyd Appraisal Services 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, 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. Boyd Appraisal Services is experienced in helping people just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge San Bernardino county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Boyd Appraisal Services is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inopportune from a cash flow standpoint. Boyd Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.
