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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you most likely 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 selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to cut expenses 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". 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. AppraiserAdvisorNow.com is seasoned in helping consumers just like you get rid of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging Los Angeles county's assessment of your property

Lets say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. 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 a professional appraisal from AppraiserAdvisorNow.com is your strongest weapon.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

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 in a declining area. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow point of view, but it can be damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. AppraiserAdvisorNow.com can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for efficiency or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal?
