At Oracle Appraisals, we understand the individual needs of a customer seeking appraisal services.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing ServicesSince you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Oracle Appraisals, will be objective. We'll 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 home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours. PMI Removal AppraisalsA preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experts in helping people just like you dismiss undesirable PMI insurance. Challenging property tax assessmentsYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal from Oracle Appraisals is your number one weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.
