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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you probably 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 home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down. That means you're most likely paying more taxes than you should. The sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting an appraisal report from Accurate Realestate Value, Inc is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

A preferred money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Accurate Realestate Value, Inc, we're experienced in helping customers just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just choose 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 be inconvenient from a cash flow angle, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accurate Realestate Value, Inc can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you need a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Accurate Realestate Value, Inc offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comparables in question. 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.

We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have in your possession. Even though most appraisal reviews are requested by lenders, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to get a second opinion.
