Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at AppraisalOne Valuations, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, and not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Let's say your house is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. This means you are most likely 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 things like this, the better. A professional appraisal from AppraisalOne Valuations, LLC is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. 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. We're experienced in helping folks just like you get rid of undesirable PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be inconvenient from a cash flow standpoint, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. AppraisalOne Valuations, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity, or do you need 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. 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 you with a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may want to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
