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

It's very hard to be objective about your own home because you most likely have an emotional attachment to it. Our professional appraisers at Accu Value Appraisals 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 very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your house's value, and not just how much your home is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your home not appreciating as much as other properties close to yours. This means you are probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The faster you take care of things like this, the better, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. An expert appraisal from Accu Value Appraisals is your chief weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) eliminated from your mortgage loan is an attractive money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your house, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We are qualified in helping people just like you abolish unneeded and unwanted PMI insurance.

Recently got a freeze to your HELOC?

If your house is in a declining area, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. This can be troublesome from a cash flow point of view, and damaging to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accu Value Appraisals can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a veteran appraiser to double-check your appraisal for preciseness, or do you want a second opinion without the cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Accu Value Appraisals can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, we'll provide 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 you may have had in the past. Although most review work is requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners suspecting they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to get a second opinion.
