We at Crystal Wyrick 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, lawyers, and accountants. Being a homeowner that most likely doesn't look at appraisals on a regular basis,you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

For Sale By Owner/Pre-Listing Services

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Crystal Wyrick are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Crystal Wyrick is your perfect weapon.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned professional double-check it for preciseness or do you want a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While usually requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
