At Van Syckel Realty & Appraisal, we understand the particular needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and accountants. But as a consumer, you'll receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to 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 price to sell at so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important 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 property's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. That only means you're paying more taxes than you should. The earlier 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 from Van Syckel Appraisal is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. Van Syckel Appraisal is experienced in helping customers just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender might choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Van Syckel Appraisal can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for verity? An appraiser from Van Syckel Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comps in question 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? Van Syckel Appraisal can help you with that. Even though most appraisal reviews are commissioned by lenders, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are prudent to invest in a second opinion.
