Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

It's very hard to be objective about your own house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at RE Appraisal Associates of SWFL, Inc., are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have an attainable 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 the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value report than yours.

Need to cancel PMI?

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular way to cut expenses for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is down 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. RE Appraisal Associates of SWFL, Inc. is experts in helping people just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

If you live in a local area that is going down or is not appreciating as much as other homes close by, your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are most likely paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better off you'll be. Getting an appraisal report from RE Appraisal Associates of SWFL, Inc. 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 just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your property is in or near a declining area. This can be be detrimental to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also troublesome from a cash flow standpoint. An efficient appraisal from RE Appraisal Associates of SWFL, Inc. can help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency, or do you want a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? RE Appraisal Associates of SWFL, Inc. offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps. If you need it in a rush, we'll 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 report? RE Appraisal Associates of SWFL, Inc. can help you with that. While typically requested by banks, you may desire to take advantage of this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
