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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to save money for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping homeowners just like you abolish unwanted and unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that is going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The sooner you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Accuquick Appraisal is your strongest weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accuquick Appraisal can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a professional double-check it for precision or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Accuquick Appraisal can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to employ this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
