We at Iykon Appraisers LLC understand the particular needs of a customer looking for appraisal services. Our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and the customary reporting formats. But as a consumer,we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Iykon Appraisers LLC, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. 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, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Iykon Appraisers LLC, we're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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 off you'll be. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Iykon Appraisers LLC is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from Iykon Appraisers LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you prefer a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for verity? Iykon Appraisers LLC offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
