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

It's very hard to be objective about your home because of your emotional attachment to 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. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, a professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer. It's something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A preferred way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is 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. We are experts in helping customers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that's going down or is not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. That means you are paying more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. A professional appraisal from Good Appraisal Services, Inc. is your strongest weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

If your house is in or near a declining area, your lender just might decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be unfavorable to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint. Good Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your HELOC.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy, or do you desire a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comparables 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.

Do you need a retrospective review of an appraisal? Good Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may wish to make use of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
