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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Our professional appraisers at Appraisal Services of South Florida are objective. We won't just tell you what you want to hear, we will tell you what you need to know. A professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something tangible to show the buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your property's value -- not just how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be far more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value estimation than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

An attractive way to cut expenses for homeowners is getting the PMI eliminated from their mortgage loan, thus saving them money on their monthly payments. PMI stands for "Private Mortgage Insurance". Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is less than 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to the lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Appraisal Services of South Florida is experienced in helping people just like you rid yourselves of unneeded PMI insurance.

Challenging a property tax assessment

Lets say you live in an area that's declining -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. That only means you are most likely paying 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. An appraisal from Appraisal Services of South Florida is your perfect weapon when challenging your property tax assessment.

Recently got a freeze your HELOC?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender may choose to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is close to a declining area. This can be be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out, and also disadvantageous from a cash flow angle. Appraisal Services of South Florida can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with efficient appraisal.

We Offer Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you wish a second opinion without the added expense and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you desire a professional to double-check your appraisal for efficiency? Appraisal Services of South Florida offers field reviews where we go out and check the subject and comps in question. Or, if you're in a rush, we can provide desk review and verify as many facts as we can using online data sources as well as our own files.
