Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Select Appraisals, LLC 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 likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. It's something tangible to show your buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's price, and not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a fashionable way to cut costs for homeowners. 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 eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're qualified in helping people just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Lets say your home is not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued. 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 earlier you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal from Select Appraisals, LLC is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area. Not only can this be inopportune from a cash flow angle, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Select Appraisals, LLC can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned professional to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you desire a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Select Appraisals, LLC can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, 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.
