We at Good Appraisal Services, Inc. understand the particular needs of a consumer seeking appraisal services.

But as a general consumer,you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to better understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Good Appraisal Services, Inc. are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A popular money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. At Good Appraisal Services, Inc., we're experts in helping people just like you dismiss unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other homes close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're 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 a matter like this, the better. Getting an expert appraisal from Good Appraisal Services, Inc. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

If your house is near a declining area, your lender 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 difficult from a cash flow viewpoint, but it can be negative on your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Good Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? We can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal report 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 house.
