At ABC Appraisal Service, we understand the particular needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants. Being a regular homeowner that ordinarily doesn't look at appraisals on a regular basis, we will provide you with extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we present our findings.

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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at ABC Appraisal Service are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested 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 assessment than yours.

Challenging property tax assessments

Let's say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from ABC Appraisal Service is your #1 weapon.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping clients just like you do away with undesirable PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An appraisal from ABC Appraisal Service can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need a seasoned expert to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? An appraiser from ABC Appraisal Service can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it immediately, 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. Even though most review work is requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are prudent to get a second opinion.
