Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Appraisal Power, will be 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 concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan 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. Appraisal Power is qualified in helping clients just like you dismiss unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close by -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. An expert appraisal from Appraisal Power is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome 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. Appraisal Power can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? An appraiser from Appraisal Power can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
