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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Accredited Appraisals, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. 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 removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Accredited Appraisals is experienced in helping people just like you do away with unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a region that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This means you're paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Accredited Appraisals is your best weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can this be difficult and inconvenient from a cash flow point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accredited Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? An appraiser from Accredited Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, 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 report you may have had done before. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
