We at Buyer's Choice Real Estate understand the particular needs of a homeowner after appraisal services.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Buyer's Choice Real Estate, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very important negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just you saying how much your house is worth. Potential buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. A fashionable money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. At Buyer's Choice Real Estate, we're experts in helping clients just like you remove unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is declining or is not appreciating as much as other homes nearby. That means you're paying more taxes than you should. The faster 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. An appraisal from Buyer's Choice Real Estate is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender just may make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is close to a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also annoying from a cash flow standpoint. Buyer's Choice Real Estate can provide you with a professional appraisal that will help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just received a copy of your appraisal and you would like to have a professional double-check it for verity or do you need a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Buyer's Choice Real Estate can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. Or, if you're in a hurry, we can provide 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? Buyer's Choice Real Estate can help with that too. Even though this is usually requested by banks, you may wish to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
