At Appraisal Partners, Inc., we understand the individual needs of a customer after appraisal services. Our business practices and reporting formats are relatively routine to our business clients like banks, lawyers, and accountants. As our valued client, we'll be sure you get extra guidance and explanations through the appraisal process to more fully understand what we do and how we report our findings.

Pre-listing Services/For Sale by Owner

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. The professional appraisers at Appraisal Partners, Inc. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer. It gives you something concrete to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's value -- not just how much you think your house is worth. Interested buyers assume you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to a seasoned appraiser's value report than yours.

Challenge Lee County's assessment of your property

Your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued if you live in a region that is going down. That only means you're going to pay more taxes than you should. The earlier you take care of things like this, the better off you'll be, since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period. Getting a professional appraisal from Appraisal Partners, Inc. is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed 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 less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI canceled from your loan. At Appraisal Partners, Inc., we're veterans in helping clients just like you get rid of unnecessary PMI insurance.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your home is in a declining area. This can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also inconvenient from a cash flow point of view. Appraisal Partners, Inc. can provide you with an expert appraisal to help you reinstate your home equity line of credit.

Do You Need Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services?

Have you just accepted a copy of your appraisal and you'd wish to have a veteran appraiser double-check it for accuracy or do you desire a second opinion without the added cost and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? An appraiser from Appraisal Partners, Inc. can go out and check the subject and comps in question in a field review. Or, if you need it ASAP, we can provide you with a desk review and verify as many facts as we can, using online data sources as well as our own files.

We can also provide you with a retrospective review of any appraisal report you may have had done before. While typically requested by banks, you may wish to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your property.
