We at EquityValuation Services understand the particular needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. The appraisal process and reporting formats are familiar to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants. But as a consumer,we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at EquityValuation Services 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. EquityValuation Services is experienced in helping customers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge property tax assessments

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. An appraisal from EquityValuation Services is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender may just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow viewpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. EquityValuation Services can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you desire a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from EquityValuation Services can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, 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? EquityValuation Services can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
