Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at West Valley Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At West Valley Appraisal Services, we're experienced in helping folks just like you remove unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Maricopa county's assessment of your property

When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from West Valley Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?
