For-Sale-by-Owner (FSBO) / Pre-Listing Services
It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it.
The professional appraisers at Appraisers Now, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective.
In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer.
The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer.
An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much your home is worth.
Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.
Challenging a property tax assessment
Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is going down or not appreciating as much as other homes nearby.
This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying.
The quicker you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period.
An appraisal from Appraisers Now, Inc. is your best weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.
Need to remove PMI?
PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments.
Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property, 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.
Appraisers Now, Inc. is seasoned in helping customers just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.
Was your HELOC recently frozen?
Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in a declining area.
Not only can this be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out.
An efficient appraisal from Appraisers Now, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.
Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?
Would you prefer a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you want a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness?
We can go out and check the subject and comparables 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.
We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had done before.
While typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
