At THIELEN APPRAISAL, LLC, we understand the particular needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services. Our typical business clients understand the appraisal process and the standard "products" we deliver to them. But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we present our conclusions.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at THIELEN APPRAISAL, LLC, 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 selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. THIELEN APPRAISAL, LLC is experts in helping customers just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Barry county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. 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. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting a professional appraisal from THIELEN APPRAISAL, LLC is your strongest weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is near a declining area, your lender might decide 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 difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. THIELEN APPRAISAL, LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. If you need it 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 report? THIELEN APPRAISAL, LLC can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may need to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
