For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At JL Voth Company, we're veterans in helping customers just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Sedgwick county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from JL Voth Company is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is close to a declining area, your lender may choose 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 unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. JL Voth Company can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned expert double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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? JL Voth Company can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
