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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. A professional appraiser is objective and will 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 a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A fashionable way to cut costs 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". Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Assured Real Estate Services LLC is veterans in helping clients just like you abolish unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours. That means you're probably paying more taxes than you should. The quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An appraisal report from Assured Real Estate Services LLC is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender just might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. Not only can this be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Assured Real Estate Services LLC can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with a professional appraisal.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comparables in question. Or, if you're in a rush, 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.

We can also provide a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
