At AppraiseRite, LLC, we understand the particular needs of a consumer in need of appraisal services. Our typical business clients are used to the appraisal process and the standard "products" we deliver to them. Being a regular person not in the real estate industry that most likely doesn't see an appraisal every day, you will receive extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner (FSBO)

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at AppraiseRite, LLC are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we'll tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and 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 far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a region that's going down. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the quicker you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from AppraiseRite, LLC is your #1 weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to remove PMI

A popular way to save money for homeowners is to get the PMI removed from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At AppraiseRite, LLC, we're veterans in helping people just like you delete unneeded PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Your lender might just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in a declining area -- even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be annoying from a cash flow point of view, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. AppraiseRite, LLC can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just been handed a copy of your appraisal and you'd prefer to have a seasoned appraiser double-check it for efficiency or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? AppraiseRite, LLC offers field reviews where we'll go out and check the subject and comparables. Or, if you're in a rush, we can 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 a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had in the past. While usually requested by banks, you may need to utilize this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
