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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's price, and not just you saying how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. At Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals, we're experienced in helping homeowners just like you rid themselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a local area that is declining. That only means you're most likely 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 a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. An efficient appraisal from Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just been given a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we will go out and check the subject and comps in question. If you need it immediately, we'll provide 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? Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may desire to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
