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. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Precision Valuations and Consulting, will be objective. We 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 house will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular way to cut expenses for homeowners is to get the PMI removed 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 home, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Precision Valuations and Consulting is qualified in helping homeowners just like you do away with unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of a matter like this, the better. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an appraisal from Precision Valuations and Consulting is your chief weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Precision Valuations and Consulting can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a seasoned expert double-check it for accuracy or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Precision Valuations and Consulting can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. If you need it immediately, we'll 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 you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have in your possession. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
