At Jeff Ulibarri Appraising Inc., we understand the unique needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Jeff Ulibarri Appraising Inc. 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 selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. 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 know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experienced in helping people just like you get rid of unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Jeff Ulibarri Appraising Inc. is your perfect weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender just may decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Jeff Ulibarri Appraising Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? An appraiser from Jeff Ulibarri Appraising Inc. can go out and check the subject and comps 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 report? Jeff Ulibarri Appraising Inc. can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
