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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at A+ Appraisals, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, and not just how much 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 assessment than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

A popular way to save money 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". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At A+ Appraisals, LLC, we're experienced in helping clients just like you delete unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home is not appreciating as much as other houses close to yours. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of things like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from A+ Appraisals, LLC is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint. A+ Appraisals, LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned professional double-check it for efficiency or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? A+ Appraisals, LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you need it immediately, we can 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? A+ Appraisals, LLC can help with that too. While typically requested by banks, you may need to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
