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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price, not just how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Good Appraisal Services, Inc. is experts in helping people just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say you live in a local area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the earlier you take care of things like this, the better. Getting a professional appraisal from Good Appraisal Services, Inc. is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in or near a declining area. This can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, and detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Good Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would prefer to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you want a second opinion without the charge 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 need it 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 want to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
