For Sale by Owner (FSBO)/Pre-Listing Services
Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it.
A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.
A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers.
It gives you something tangible to show the buyer.
The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, not just how much you think your house is worth.
Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value report than yours.
Challenge a property tax assessment
Let's say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued.
This only means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying.
Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better.
An appraisal report from Appraisal Professionals, LLC is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
Appraisals to cancel PMI
PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred money saver for homeowners is to get the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments.
Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan.
We are veterans in helping people just like you delete unwanted PMI insurance.
HELOC recently frozen?
Your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value.
Not only can this be unsuitable from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out.
An appraisal from Appraisal Professionals, LLC can help you reinstate your HELOC.
Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?
Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for precision?
An appraiser from Appraisal Professionals, LLC can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review.
If you're in a rush, we'll 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? Appraisal Professionals, LLC can help you with that.
Even though most appraisal reviews are requested by lenders, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to get a second opinion.
