At Elite Appraisal Services, we understand the particular needs of a homeowner looking for appraisal services. While our usual business clients understand the appraisal process and standard reporting formats, you as a consumer will get an extra level of customer service in the form of an explanation of the process and even special consumer-friendly reporting forms if the assignment allows for them.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale By Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your home, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Elite Appraisal Services will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is very crucial as a negotiating tool once you have an attainable buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. The appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value, not just you saying how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

Need to remove PMI?

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive money saver for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is down below 80% of the value of your house. In most cases you can apply to your lender to have the PMI removed from your loan. We are experienced in helping consumers just like you remove unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenge Tax Assessment

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in a local area that's going down or not appreciating as much as other properties nearby. This means you're probably paying higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. When contesting your property tax assessment, getting an expert appraisal from Elite Appraisal Services is your number one weapon.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

If your property is in or near a declining area, your lender just may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) - even if your specific property has not declined in value. Not only can this be disadvantageous from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be harmful to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Elite Appraisal Services can provide you with a professional appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Have you just gotten a copy of your appraisal and you'd like to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for preciseness or do you need a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? We can go out and check the subject and comps in a field review. If you're 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? Elite Appraisal Services can help you with that. While usually requested by banks, you may want to use this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
