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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Accurate Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

A preferred way to save money 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 amount is down below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. Accurate Appraisals is qualified in helping homeowners just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting a professional appraisal from Accurate Appraisals is your strongest weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accurate Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comparables. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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? Accurate Appraisals can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
