Taylor Smith
I have lived in the Madison area since 1977. I grew up in Middleton but graduated from West High School in Madison. After graduating from West High School and before going to college I was able to spend 2 years working in Silverton and Dillion Colorado and then a year in Portland Oregon. After coming home to Madison and starting college I found the love of my life and we were married in 1988. After school, I started appraising real estate in 1992 and have been appraising in the Madison area ever since. Along with being a husband and father of 4 I have been involved with literally thousands of property valuations over the years and can say appraising is something I look forward to doing every day. Working with so many homeowners, mortgage brokers, bankers, lawyers, Realtors and other professionals determining the value of so many different properties has truly made each day one to remember. If your looking for an honest valuation for listing, selling, buying, mortgaging or possibly lower your PMI or taxes I can provide you with an appraisal that's specific to your home, which is unlike the value you might receive from a mass appraisal that your assessor does. Its likely your assessor has never been in your home. Having an appraisal of your property can help to lower your taxes because the assessor can see you have an appraisal specific to your property with recent comparable sales supporting your home value to support your case. You also can provide it to another appraiser who may be appraising your home again during a refinance when your bank is appraising your home for a new loan. Having an appraisal can save you a ton of cash at tax time, refinance time or most any time. It just makes it hard to deny when you have a recent appraisal in hand. Stop paying such high taxes and see what a recent appraisal can do for you. Possibly your not moving but looking to update your home and want to know if a certain remodeling plan will increase your home's value enough to justify the cost of your bids you received to remodel your home or maybe you need my services to help determine the value of a property for estate planning or insurance settlements or possibly for a divorce settlement. It's not uncommon to hire me for reviewing the work of other appraisers or for other consulting reasons if you're an investor, lawyer, Realtor, banker, mortgage lender or homeowner. Get it done right the first time by a seasoned appraiser.
