Homeowner Appraisal Services
Homeowners need appraisals or
appraisal reviews for a variety of reasons, including a mortgage
refinance, home equity loans,
Pre-listing services, and PMI
removal. When you order an appraisal or review from us, you can rest
assured that you will get
the best in professional service,
courtesy, and quality.
Refinance / Home Equity
Be sure that you request us if
your lender asks you for YOUR choice of appraisal firms. More than
likely we are already
on their "approved list", and if not
we will quickly provide your lender with the necessary documentation to
become approved.
For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services
It's very hard to be objective
about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. A
Professional Appraiser
is objective and 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 home will
attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a
negotiating tool once you have
a potential buyer. It gives you
something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's
opinion of your home's
value, and not just you saying how
much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional
attachment to your
home and will be far more likely to
give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.
PMI Removal Appraisals
A popular money saver for
homeowners in the last few years is to get the PMI removed from their
mortgage loan, thus saving
them money on their monthly
payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your
mortgage loan amount is down
below 80% of the value of your home,
in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from
your loan, which
will make your monthly payments go
down. We are experienced in helping folks just like you rid themselves
of unneeded and
unwanted PMI insurance.
