      We understand the individual needs of a customer after appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like lenders, lawyers, and accountants. But as a general consumer, you can expect extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we document our conclusions.

For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services

      Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ours, will be 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 property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

     Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping consumers just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

      Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. This only means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from our team is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

      Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow point of view. We can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

      Would you like a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for precision? An appraiser from our staff can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can 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? We are here to assist you. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
