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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Good Appraisal Services, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete 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 that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is a fashionable money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is down below 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI removed from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. Good Appraisal Services, Inc. is seasoned in helping customers just like you delete undesirable PMI insurance.

Challenge a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in an area that is declining or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. 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. Getting an expert appraisal from Good Appraisal Services, Inc. is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is close to 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. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Good Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Good Appraisal Services, Inc. can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.

Need a retrospective review of an appraisal report? We can help with that too. While usually requested by banks, you may need to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
