For Sale by Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Tonee Rockwell Appraisal will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers.

Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.Challenge Snohomish County's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. This means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying.

Getting a professional appraisal from Tonee Rockwell Appraisal is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.Need to remove PMI?PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Tonee Rockwell Appraisal, we're seasoned in helping consumers just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.HELOC recently frozen?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area.
