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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraisal Solution, will be objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Appraisal Solution is experts in helping homeowners just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Appraisal Solution is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Appraisal Solution can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you need a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Appraisal Solution can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
