We at Wooten Appraisal Inc. understand the unique needs of a customer in need of appraisal services. Our regular business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard reporting formats. But as a general consumer,we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Wooten Appraisal Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping clients just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal from Wooten Appraisal Inc. is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint. Wooten Appraisal Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.
