At Appraisal Solutions, we understand the unique needs of a homeowner in need of appraisal services. Our typical business clients get the appraisal process and the usual "products" we deliver to them. As our valued client, we will give you extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we report our conclusions.

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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Appraisal Solutions are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Appraisal Solutions, we're experienced in helping people just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say you live in an area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're going to pay 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 a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Appraisal Solutions is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, and unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An expert appraisal from Appraisal Solutions can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision? We can go out and check the subject and comps 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? Appraisal Solutions can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
