It's very hard to be objective about your home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Northbound Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. 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. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are veterans in helping clients just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Hamilton county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Northbound Appraisals, LLC is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Northbound Appraisals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
