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

It's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. A professional appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract buyers. It gives you something tangible to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your home is worth. Potential buyers know you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be much more likely to give credibility to an experienced appraiser's value opinion than yours.

Challenge property tax assessments

Your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if you live in an area that's going down. This means you are paying higher taxes than you should be paying. The earlier 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 Superior Appraisal Services, Inc. is your best weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Appraisals to cancel PMI

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) canceled from your mortgage loan is a popular money saver for homeowners. Once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your property, in most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan, which will make your monthly payments go down. We're experienced in helping folks just like you abolish unwanted PMI insurance.

Was your HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might make the decision to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is near a declining area. This can be bad for your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also unsuitable from a cash flow point of view. Superior Appraisal Services, Inc. can provide you with efficient appraisal to help you reinstate your HELOC.

We Also Provide Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for accuracy? In a field review we'll go out and check the subject and comps. 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? Superior Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you with that. Even though most review work is requested by lenders for quality control, homeowners that have reason to believe they've been the victim of mortgage fraud are wise to invest in a second opinion.
