We at Crowe Appraisals understand the individual needs of a consumer looking for appraisal services.

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. The professional appraisers at Crowe Appraisals will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's price -- not just you saying how much you think your house is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to a qualified appraiser's value assessment than yours.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. An attractive way to cut costs for homeowners is getting the PMI canceled from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan amount is below 80% of the value of your property. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Crowe Appraisals, we're experienced in helping people just like you abolish unnecessary PMI insurance.

Challenging property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes close by. That only means you are probably paying more taxes than you should. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the faster you take care of things like this, the better. Getting an appraisal report from Crowe Appraisals is your chief weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is near a declining area. This can this be troublesome from a cash flow viewpoint, and bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Crowe Appraisals can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Do you need a seasoned appraiser to double-check your appraisal for precision, or do you want 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 question in a field review. If you need it ASAP, 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? Crowe Appraisals can help with that too. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may wish to exploit this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your house.
