Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Premier Appraisal Services, Inc., are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount 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. Premier Appraisal Services, Inc. is qualified in helping homeowners just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house is not appreciating as much as other properties close by. That means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. Getting an appraisal from Premier Appraisal Services, Inc. is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. Not only can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Premier Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Premier Appraisal Services, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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? Premier Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
