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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Taurus Companies, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled 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 amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. We are qualified in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. An expert appraisal from Taurus Companies is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow viewpoint. An efficient appraisal from Taurus Companies can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you want 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. If you need it in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
