Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at EQUITY APPRAISAL COMPANY, are objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Challenging property tax assessments

Let's say you live in a local area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you are most likely paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal report from EQUITY APPRAISAL COMPANY is your strongest weapon.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 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're qualified in helping folks just like you rid yourselves of unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

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 be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint. An efficient appraisal from EQUITY APPRAISAL COMPANY can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would wish to have a seasoned expert double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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 report you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may want to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
