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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at William K. Boyd, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's 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 home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At William K. Boyd, Inc., we're qualified in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from William K. Boyd, Inc. is your perfect weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area. This can be be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also difficult from a cash flow angle. William K. Boyd, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll 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 report? William K. Boyd, Inc. can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
