At Beschnett Appraisal, LLC, we understand the unique needs of a customer in need of appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants.

For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Beschnett Appraisal, LLC 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Let's 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 going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from Beschnett Appraisal, LLC is your perfect weapon.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get 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 is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We're experts in helping clients just like you get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area. Not only can this be difficult 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. Beschnett Appraisal, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for verity or do you want a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Beschnett Appraisal, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it immediately, we can provide you with a 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 report you may have had in the past. Even though most appraisal reviews are commissioned by lenders, homeowners that have reason to believe a prior appraisal wasn't above board are prudent to get a second opinion.
