For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Tauke Appraisal Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's market value, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Challenge Dubuque County's assessment of your property

Let's say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This 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 sooner you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Tauke Appraisal Inc. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Tauke Appraisal Inc., we're veterans in helping clients just like you rid themselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow angle, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Tauke Appraisal Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you're in a rush, 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? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may desire to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
