Real estate appraisal services for homeowners in the city of Park City and Summit CountyThe top seven reasons Utah homeowners order from Orion Appraisal:
At Orion Appraisal, we understand the unique needs of a customer after appraisal services. While our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get extra customer service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them. Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner (FSBO)Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Orion Appraisal 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 buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house'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 much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.Challenge Summit County's assessment of your propertyLet's say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Orion Appraisal is your strongest weapon.Appraisals to cancel PMIGetting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses 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 seasoned in helping clients just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.HELOC recently frozen?If your property is close to 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. This can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow angle. Orion Appraisal can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Orion Appraisal offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it in a rush, 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Although most review work is requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are prudent to get a second opinion. |
