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

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because of your emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at REMAX Experience, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, not just how much your house is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value judgement than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

An attractive way to save money for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are experts in helping homeowners just like you dismiss unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other houses close by. That only means you are going to pay more taxes than you should. The faster you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. When challenging your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from REMAX Experience is your #1 weapon.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can this be unsuitable from a cash flow point of view, and harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. A professional appraisal from REMAX Experience can help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Would you wish a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness? An appraiser from REMAX Experience can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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.

We can also provide you with a a retrospective review of any appraisal you may have had in the past. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may need to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
