We at Arusha, LP understand the special needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. Our customary business clients get the appraisal process and the usual "products" we deliver to them. But as a general consumer,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better 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. The professional appraisers at Arusha, LP will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated 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 below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are experienced in helping homeowners just like you remove undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an expert appraisal from Arusha, LP is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be annoying from a cash flow standpoint, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Arusha, LP can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? Arusha, LP can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
