HOMEOWNER APPRAISAL SERVICES Homeowners need appraisals or appraisal reviews for a variety of reasons, mortgage refinance, home equity loans, Pre-listing services, and PMI removal. When you order and appraisal or review from us, you can rest assured that you will receive 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 appraisers. More than likely we are already on their "approved list", and if not we will call and provide your lender with the necessary documentation to become approved. FOR-SALE-BY-OWNER / 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 want to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. It's and independent third party's opinion of your home's value not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know your emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credit 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 payment. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". 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 removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payment go down. We are experienced in helping get rid of unwanted PMI insurance.
