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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Konza Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to save money 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Konza Appraisals, we're experienced in helping consumers just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Riley county's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that's declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Konza Appraisals is your number one weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your home is in a declining area, your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - 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 unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint. Konza Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have an expert double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Konza Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can 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? Konza Appraisals can help you with that. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
