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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. The professional appraisers at Premier Real Estate Appraisal 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 property will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to cut costs for homeowners is to get 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 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. Premier Real Estate Appraisal is experts in helping customers just like you rid yourselves of undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. This only means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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 contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Premier Real Estate Appraisal is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint. Premier Real Estate Appraisal can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Premier Real Estate Appraisal can go out and check the subject and comparables in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide 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. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
