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

Since you have an emotional attachment to your own house, it's often very hard to be objective about it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Accurate Appraisers, are objective. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is very valuable as a negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your property will attract many interested buyers. It's something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your house's price -- not just how much you think your home is worth. Potential buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be more likely to give credibility to a professional appraiser's value conclusion than yours.

PMI Removal Appraisals

Getting the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) removed from your mortgage loan is a preferred way to cut costs for homeowners. Your monthly payments will go down once your mortgage loan is below 80% of the value of your home. In most cases you can apply to a lender to have the PMI eliminated from your loan. Accurate Appraisers is veterans in helping customers just like you rid themselves of unwanted PMI insurance.

Challenging Orange county's assessment of your property

Lets say you live in a local area that's going down -- your local tax assessor may have your home overvalued. This only means you're going to pay higher taxes than you should be paying. Since your property assessment may likely go up again in the next period, the sooner you take care of a matter like this, the better. A professional appraisal from Accurate Appraisers is your number one weapon when contesting your property tax assessment.

HELOC recently frozen?

Even if your specific property has not declined in value, your lender might just decide to automatically freeze your home equity line of credit (HELOC) if your house is in or near a declining area. Not only can this be difficult from a cash flow standpoint, but it can be destructive to your credit score since it may appear as though that credit line is maxed out. Accurate Appraisers can help you reinstate your home equity line of credit with an expert appraisal.

Field and Desktop Appraisal Review Services

Would you like a second opinion without the charge and delay of waiting for a whole new appraisal? Or do you need an expert to double-check your appraisal for verity? An appraiser from Accurate Appraisers can go out and check the subject and comparables in question in a field review. If you're in a hurry, 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? Accurate Appraisers can help you with that. Even though this is typically requested by banks, you may want to exercise this service if you suspect mortgage fraud related to your home.
