We at Advanced Appraisal Services understand the special needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like lenders, attorneys, and CPAs. Being a regular person not in the real estate business that ordinarily doesn't look at appraisals on a regular basis,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we report our conclusions. For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing ServicesIt's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Advanced Appraisal Services, 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 interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value estimation than yours. Need to remove PMI?Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is 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 seasoned in helping clients just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance. Challenging a property tax assessmentLets say your house is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster 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 Advanced Appraisal Services is your perfect weapon when contesting your property tax assessment. Was your HELOC recently frozen?If your property is close to a declining area, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from Advanced Appraisal Services can help you reinstate your HELOC. Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have an expert double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Advanced Appraisal Services offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. If you're in a rush, we'll provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files. We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home. |
