We at Tradewind Appraisals understand the individual needs of a customer seeking appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, attorneys, and accountants. But as a general consumer,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document the results of our analysis.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Tradewind Appraisals, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is less than 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Tradewind Appraisals is experts in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Coffee county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that is declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Tradewind Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may 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. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Tradewind Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? An appraiser from Tradewind Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal? We can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
