Real estate appraisal services for homeowners in the city of Manhattan and Riley CountySee the top 7 reasons Kansas homeowners need Flint Hills Appraisals:
We at Flint Hills Appraisals understand the special needs of a homeowner seeking appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and accountants. But as a general consumer, you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more clearly understand what we do and how we report our findings. Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner (FSBO)Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.Challenging Riley County's assessment of your propertyIf you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours, your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. A professional appraisal from Flint Hills Appraisals is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.Need to remove PMI?A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, 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 veterans in helping homeowners just like you delete unnecessary PMI insurance.Was your HELOC recently frozen?Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Flint Hills Appraisals can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review ServicesDo you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Flint Hills Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, we'll 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? Flint Hills Appraisals can help you with that. Although most appraisal reviews are requested by lenders, homeowners suspecting a prior appraisal wasn't above board are wise to get a second opinion. |
